Once we rebuild our lives on a more stable, sober foundation, the true joy of a balanced and fulfilling life can take the place of the sadness and emptiness that once drove us to our addictions.

When we decide to overcome addiction, we experience a death to our former way of life, and a resurrection to walk the path God intended for our lives.

In recovery, we allow our addiction to die on the cross instead of our mind and body.

Once we rebuild our lives on a more stable, sober foundation, the true joy of a balanced and fulfilling life can take the place of the sadness and emptiness that once drove us to our addictions.

We can adapt the rosary's structure of repetitive prayer to enhance the power of meditation for those of us walking the path of addiction recovery.

By more deeply examining and contemplating the narratives of Jesus’s and Mary’s lives, we may see ourselves and our loved ones on the addiction recovery journey.

As our direct line to the heart and Way of Christ, the divine mother intercedes on our behalf as individuals choosing the path of recovery from addiction.

For Christians, and also non-Christians seeking a connection to the divine mother, the rosary can be an invaluable companion to the Twelve Steps program.

Who better than the Blessed Mother, our spiritual divine nurturer, to provide grace and support as we navigate the challenges of addiction recovery?

Many of these “prophets” warned us about the dangers of addiction and temptation, urging us to say no, to avoid certain substances, activities, places, or people who indulged in their vices.

Aided by the grace and mercy of our divine mother, addiction recovery allows our soul to heal the lingering wounds of past painful experiences.

Healing of the spirit doesn't always receive as much attention as healing the body and mind in addiction recovery.

Every step we take while trapped in the cycle of addiction, Jesus has been with us. And so too has the Blessed Mother Mary.
