Hope in the Savior

I am deeply grateful to Jesus Christ because He literally saved me from the chains of sin. Addiction is like being held by chains that "bind the children of men, that they are carried away captive down to the eternal gulf of misery and woe" (2 Nephi 1:13). When I realized I was in trouble, I didn't know where to turn. I was desperate because I could not free myself from my predicament. But the Lord could free me. When I turned to Him, He was there to help.

I can relate with Ammon: "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things" (Alma 26:12). I know that God can help us do all things, including overcoming the chains of addiction.
