People will use words like "belief" or "hope" when they speak of faith. Faith is an act of trust or reliance. There are many people who can not have faith because it is not scientific. It is not concrete. Faith has no reasoning to it. There is no data defining faith and it's abilities, but without question, I know it works. And my friends knew it would work too.
They approached the trouble with addiction with faith. They carefully sought out and reviewed several drug rehabilitation facilities. After spending vast amounts of money to go through rehab, only to have them fall back into addiction... their faith... continued.
It occurred to them that if faith kept them going, then of course, faith could work in their rehab. They had been raised in a faith filled and religious atmosphere. It was in them. Soon their search for a rehab program was tweaked to find a Christian Drug Treatment plan. Without question, this made the difference. Rehab combined with a religious faith brought them all back home. I admire and respect and love these friends and the closeness that came from a tremendous struggle and a difficult recovery. I am happy to say that they are enjoying... truly loving their lives without that weight on their shoulders.
