How many times are you going to walk around this mountain, son?
He is a young man in his late twenties. He hadn’t spoken with his mom for more than three years as he lived a life that was spiraling out of control due to his addiction. He finally called her just so she would know he was alive. Her question to him was poignant, “how many times are you going to walk around this mountain, son?”
He had tried to stop taking drugs and was actually enrolled in several different rehab programs across the country, but would never stay long enough to make a difference in his behavior. He says, “I should have been dead many times. I kept fighting the Lord, and was out of touch with reality.”
He completed Wheeler’s Hebron year-long addiction recovery program and has been clean now for more than 14 months after a seven year addiction. He has enrolled in Wheeler Servant Leadership Program and is helping other men in the Hebron Program who are working hard to beat their addiction.
He tells them if he can stop walking around that mountain, so can they. Thanks for helping in his recovery process through your prayers and gifts.
