A Bethesda Workshops Story of Hope
"I didn’t know I had a s*xual addiction. I confessed 13 years of secret s*xual sin to my husband, promising I was done… and then I couldn’t stop. Even after ending the affair and stopping po*******hy, I still used s*x and ma********on to cope. That’s when I knew I couldn’t fix this problem on my own.
My breaking point came on August 30, 2024. After a second confession, overwrought by my shame, I left home intending to end my life. But God intervened through a phone call with my best friend. She reminded me there was still hope and that God wasn’t finished with me yet.
Bringing my sin/addiction into the light changed everything. I’m finally living surrendered and free in His light. Healing hasn’t been easy, but my marriage, family, and friendships have grown so much stronger in this new season of sobriety. I wouldn’t change a thing – other than beginning this journey sooner!
Bethesda Workshops showed me I wasn’t alone and that recovery was possible. Today I am 587 days sober. My ultimate hope is found in Jesus - His mercy, His redemption, and the truth that He still loves me, despite my history.
Recovery is possible for you too; you are never too far gone with Jesus!"
