Watch “Preston’s Story about Drug Addiction Recovery.” Preston was living in a basement with his brother, who was also addicted to heroin and cocaine, when their intense cravings finally drove them to steal. Preston wondered if he could ever be forgiven, so he prayed to find out. The hope he felt in response to his prayer was the beginning of a miraculous recovery.

Help is available by using these 12 steps and participating in the Church’s Addiction Recovery Program (see AddictionRecovery.lds.org).
