She died twice, survived a suicide attempt, and still God wasn’t done writing her story. Laura’s journey is a powerful testimony of addiction, survival, and God’s redemption. Growing up with a mentally ill mother and taking her first drink at 9 years old, her life spiraled into alcohol, meth, and painkillers. By her twenties, addiction had consumed everything. At 28, after relapsing at 22 months sober, she attempted to end her life by shooting herself in the chest. Miraculously, she survived—and experienced a spiritual awakening in the psych ward. But the battle continued: four DUIs, a near 10‑year prison sentence, and a relapse six months after giving birth that led to her dying twice from alcohol poisoning. Rehab didn’t stick. Nothing did. Until she attended an all‑women’s AA retreat, where she encountered God in a life‑changing way. In a moment of surrender, God removed every craving—alcohol, meth, painkillers—instantly. She has been sober ever since. Today, Laura is married, employed, licensed again, and dedicated to helping others find freedom. Her life is living proof that sobriety is possible, hope is real, and God restores what addiction tries to destroy.

Part 2Eli Yoder grew up in an Old Order Amish community in Kenton, Ohio, where strict rules forbade alcohol and drugs. But addiction doesn’t care about tradition, religion, or upbringing. His father battled alcoholism and depression, and after leaving the Amish, Eli spent 19 years following the same destructive path. Everything changed when his wife gave him an ultimatum: alcohol or family. Facing the loss of his marriage and son, Eli surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. Through faith and Scripture, he broke free from alcohol addiction and now shares his testimony to help others overcome addiction and generational trauma.
