About the FAR Program

What is an addiction? You have an addiction whenever you feel or believe you need something you do
not actually need. When we become addicted to something that God did not design
us to need, we are in bondage to that sinful thing. For example, you cannot be
addicted to breathing because God designed you to need air, but you can be
addicted to sweets, pornography, or alcohol because God did not design you to
need these things. The good news is that God can give you power over any sin so
you may be free from addiction for the rest of your life. This is the purpose
of Faith Addiction Recovery.

The worst problem in the world is sin. When sin has a
controlling influence on your life, you lose your freedom first. Eventually you
may lose your family, and you may finally lose your physical well-being.
Ultimately, addiction to any sin brings death (James 1:15).  We believe the Bible has the answers to all
our questions and the solutions to all our problems. The 10 Principles of Faith
Addiction Recovery in this book are taken from the Bible and are designed to
lead you out of bondage to sin and into the freedom and victory that is only
found through faith in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:4).

Life without God is not supposed to make sense. God has
designed you for a fulfilling relationship with Him through his Son, Jesus
Christ. People look for fulfillment, happiness, pleasure, and meaning in the
things of this world. Some turn to drugs or alcohol, others turn to cigarettes
or pornography, still others try to find what they are looking for in food or
video games or sports or music—the list is endless. But none of these things
will ever satisfy the longing of your soul for God. That’s the way he made you!

The principles learned in this program will help you find
your way out of addiction to any sin. If you are ready to commit yourself to
God and find real fulfillment, joy, peace, and meaning in your life, then Faith
Addiction Recovery is for you. If, however, you are just trying this as one
more “recovery program;” if you are just trying to clean up and get straight to
please someone else; if you are not really serious about living in the
wonderful liberty that your Creator designed for you, then Faith Addiction
Recovery is not for you. God is serious about his love for you and his plan for
your life and you must be serious about real success and freedom from addiction
too. God can and God will help anyone who comes to him. Determine in your heart
that you will learn these principles and apply them to yourself and God will
set you free because Faith is the way to freedom from any addiction!
