This story offers a glimpse into Rita’s early descent into alcohol and drug use and the deeper longing for love and identity beneath it, culminating in a hard-won encounter with God that transforms her life and recovery.
REFLECT
- Rita’s story reveals that she found sobriety before she fully encountered God, discovering Him more deeply through recovery. How might God already be at work in your life, even in places that don’t yet feel explicitly “spiritual”?
- Rita’s faith did not return all at once but unfolded gradually through the recovery process. Where do you need patience with your own spiritual growth instead of expecting instant transformation?
- Rita’s journey reflects a shift from self-dependence to trust in God over time. What areas of your life are you still holding onto rather than entrusting them to God’s care?
