Step 2: Hope – Preston’s Story about Drug Addiction Recovery

- Advertisment - LDS Bookstore Jewelry

Here’s the second installment in Mormon Channel’s 12-part series about addiction recovery.

It is based on the second step of the addiction recovery program, which states:

Step 2 – Hope: Come to believe that the power of God can restore you to complete spiritual health.

Preston was living in a basement with his brother, who was also addicted to heroin and cocaine, when their intense cravings finally drove them to steal. Preston wondered if he could ever be forgiven, so he prayed to find out. The hope he felt in response to his prayer was the beginning of a miraculous recovery.
