5 /5 Rastus Ginginthatler: There’s not much that can be said about the tragedy of addiction that most folks don’t already know. The broken lives, shattered families, hopelessness and heart break that everyone feels. Most every person has been affected in some way by the evils of addiction.
However, everyone affect by addiction is looking for the same thing, a way out. The spouse, the addict and especially the friends and family of the affected. A few years ago our family found ourselves in the depth of that tragedy. Our daughter and son-in-law were both far, far away from reality. It’s only when they lost all hope and realized that they were not on the right path did things finally start to change. Thank God, at that same time we found about about Potters House. Not only did they help my daughter but, they were able to help my son-in-law find help. During the time they were away the leaders of both programs kept in touch. After the two of them had made good progress to get themselves straight, the leadership started working on restoring their broken family.
It was not an easy journey. At times we weren’t sure whether we’d all make or not. But, after a lot of soul searching and the never ending guidance of the Potter’s House leadership and most importantly, the mighty hand of God, all things began to fall into place.
It’s been a few years now since the road to restoration started for us. I’m certain that without the leadership and direction we found at Potters House, we wouldn’t be where we are today. God truly has held, not just my children in his hands but, all of our family.
