A Soldier’s Year Long Fight to Overcome Meth Addiction Through Faith with Wayne Christlieb
The Keep Diggin’ Podcast is the only podcast committed to Faith, Family & Fight! Join us each week as we talk to everyday people regarding how they incorporate Faith, Family or Fight into their lives in some way and how it impacts their lives and those around them, inspiring them to just Keep Diggin’!
Addiction is an ugly thing. Imagine serving your country in Iraq, defeat the enemy, and then come home to a losing battle against drug addiction. For any soldier, a battle lost is hard to accept, and defeat is even harder to handle than most feelings. Add Meth to that situation and it takes an already tough situation and makes it feel as if all hope is lost.
Like any soldier, Wayne Christlieb has fought his battles in his life, but none has been tougher to him than his fight against Meth addiction. What started out as a recreational habit with marijuana and alcohol soon lead to a meth addiction that nearly took his life, his marriage, and his children from his life. This was one battle that Wayne didn’t want to lose. The cost was too high.
After saying enough is enough, Wayne enrolled in Western Michigan Teen/Adult Challenge in Muskegon, Michigan. This is a year long, live-in program that is Christ based and allows people like Wayne to reset in life, and get help for their addiction. Throughout this year Wayne learned how much God loved him, increased his faith and learned how to fight this addiction through faith, love,, family, accountability and relationships. The man that entered this program was a much different man that left this program. Gran talks with Wayne about his modern day Saul conversion on his own personal road to Damascus so to speak, and how God used this program to give Wayne victory over his drug use, and Meth addiction!
