Eric shares the third key to overcoming his addiction - helping others.

Talking Points:

  • Addiction may have consumed you at one point, but walking close to another person while they make that journey can be the cement in your own recovery.
  • Become a person who focuses on the outward, developing a “What can I do for others?” instead of a “What can others do for me?” attitude.
  • God will use the worst parts of our pasts to create some of the best parts of our futures. Romans 8:28
