When you're stuck in a relentless loop, it's tough to see a way out. From porn and pills to food, money, alcohol, social media, body image, status, and even anxiety—addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Take John Elmore: He battled alcoholism to the point where doctors warned him he'd die if he didn't stop. Fast forward to now: 15 years sober, and he's leading the world's largest, weekly recovery gathering, guiding people toward healing through faith in Christ. If you're struggling with addiction, tune in for John's story of hope.
