Where Faith Meets Recovery: A Message to My CR and SMART Family

Listen up, warriors of recovery. Whether you’re with Celebrate Recovery, rocking SMART Recovery, or just finding your way, I got something real for y’all about how faith flipped my script.

I thought I could fight my demons solo, but Philippians 4:13 (KJV) showed me the truth: “I can do all things through Christ.” Addiction tries to break you, but faith rebuilds you. CR fam, y’all know Jesus as the ultimate Higher Power. SMART crew, your self-empowerment tools? That’s what I felt when God took over my heart AND head.

In Williamsport, my family taught me recovery ain’t a one-day thing—it’s every day, every prayer, every step. Whether you’re working CR’s 12 steps or SMART’s app, faith ain’t religion—it’s transformation. It’s letting go of the old to grab the new.

You ain’t walking alone. God’s got plans bigger than any bottle. Check my website for more of my story, and let’s connect at CR’s Summit 2025 or SMART’s Charlotte gig. Keep pushing—your victory’s coming.
