What is Addiction Recovery?
Addiction recovery is a journey of healing and transformation that involves recognizing the problem, seeking help, and working towards freedom from harmful dependencies. This can include recovery from substance abuse, behavioral addictions, or any harmful patterns that prevent us from living fully in God's love and grace.
The Catholic understanding of addiction recovery recognizes that while addiction can cause great suffering, God's mercy is always available to help us overcome our struggles. Recovery requires humility to admit our problems, trust in God's assistance, and perseverance in the journey to freedom and healing.
This novena helps you to bring all your struggles with addiction to God, who understands your pain intimately and wants to provide you with the strength, mercy, and healing you need to find true freedom and peace in your life.
