Addicts, recovery, and the God question : how do persons with an addiction experience “God” in their recovery

Abstract

This Phenomenological Research study is an examination of data revealed through the lens of persons with an addiction, who are in recovery. Through a series of one on one interviews, this study focuses on how persons with an addiction, who are in recovery have experienced God. The study as well, will provide perspectives of their individual journeys. The study has identified several themes based on the data which will offer an insight into the dimensions where the church in ministry to the addicted may be informed.
