What started as recreational drug use for Jacob quickly became something much darker. Addiction consumed his life, leaving him isolated and hopeless—at his lowest point, he even considered ending it all. “It was the first thing I thought of when I woke up in the morning and the only thing I thought of before I went to bed,” he remembers.
But sometimes when you hit rock bottom, that’s where you find the foundation to rebuild. Through a series of connections, Jacob found his way to Heartland, where something profound began to shift. This wasn’t just about getting clean—it was about complete spiritual renewal and transformation. Jacob discovered more than sobriety. He found genuine purpose and deep peace through developing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Looking back, he points to two things that made all the difference: staying grounded in God’s Word and deliberately cutting out distractions that pulled him away from his recovery. “From the beginning to the end,” he explains, “our basis of our day is just to stay in the Word.”
If you’re struggling with addiction right now, Jacob has a message for you: don’t wait another day. “His love is the only thing that can draw you out of your addiction,” he says. Reach out to Heartland Recovery and start seeking the Lord today. No matter how dark things seem, it’s not too late.
