The human spirit's resilience is often most evident in stories of overcoming adversity. Courtney Briggs, a single mother from Lubbock, Texas, stands as a testament to this enduring strength.

A Troubled Past

Courtney's journey into addiction started early, a painful consequence of being molested by her stepfather. The trauma of her childhood drove her to seek solace in drugs, alcohol, and even a gang, as she grappled with the pain and sought ways to rebel against her life's calling by the Lord. 

Turning the Page

Yet, every dark tale has its dawn. For Courtney, the path to healing began at Deliverance weekends. Here, she learned the therapeutic power of self-affirmations and the profound act of forgiveness. By penning down affirmations and mustering the strength to forgive her stepdad, Courtney began her transformative journey to recovery. 

A Beacon of Hope

Today, Courtney stands as a beacon of hope for many. Her story, captured in the 24-minute video on the "Rebuilding Life: After Addiction" YouTube channel, resonates with resilience, strength, and redemption. With a firm declaration that she's no longer a victim, Courtney's narrative inspires countless others grappling with their demons. 

Conclusion

Courtney Briggs' story reminds us that, no matter how profound the pain, the human spirit's strength, coupled with the right support, can lead us to the other side of trauma and addiction. Her journey serves as a rallying cry for all those seeking hope and inspiration in their paths to healing and recovery.

 

One day, I was about to shoot up a whole gram of meth when I asked God for help. I ended up getting arrested and that's when my life changed for the good. I'm now nine years clean and sober and I'm here to share my story of addiction and deliverance. I want to show people that there is life after addiction and that you are worthy. I put my trust in God and He restored everything that was taken from me.
