I wanted to move this thread to the top. It should stay up there. Huntsman stated in this original thread back in 2020 he does not normally post these type of personal matters. I am here to testify it is God's work that he made his original post. When this thread was originally posted my son was practically in the same situation. Successful both academically and athletically in HS, went to college and earned a degree. However alcohol and other things started taking him down after college. While in 2020 he wasn't looking for help, I was looking for suggestions and ideas and wanted the solution to be faith based. Not a 30 day country club. I came across Huntsman's thread.

I suggested this in 2020 to my son but is was a "no" "I can handle it". From then to October of 2023 he spiraled down and out of control. Finally, the Lord answered our prayers. He was at rock bottom and called me. "Dad I am losing my family, my friends and pretty much living out of my truck. I need help. I want to go to that place you told me about a couple years ago",

It has been amazing to see God work thru Innerfaith Disciple House to change my son. Not only is he five months sober, he is a new man in Christ, in our family and this world. God is truly great. He is still there and approaching completion of the program. He has new humbleness and humility about himself as a man. He knows the temptations he will always face and recognizes this will be a life long struggle. However, he is confident in how he has been equipped and how to deal with it. His faith is certainly stronger and "more real". He has communicated to us he wants to stay involved in this ministry helping others who do not know how to get out of the hell he experienced.

I have already reached out to Huntsman and thanked him for sharing. I am not sure we would have ever found Innerfaith without God, TBH and his post.

My prayer is that someone else in need sees this thread and again lets God begin his amazing work.
