Can Someone Really Change After a Life of Drugs and Compulsiveness?

Question by mrvain22: Can someone really change after a life of drugs and compulsiveness?
I didn’t know where else to post this so here it goes…I have a friend who is about to leave a christian run treatment center . The past 10 years of her life have run on compulsive behavior and drugs. She now tells me after 3 months that shes clean, free of her manipulative ways, has found god(reads the bible all the time), is ready to commit to a real relationship with trust and faith fullness and so on. I am afraid she might fall through the cracks again but my question is..can a christian way of life and influence really change someone that drastically?? in that short of time?? How often do these people relapse??

Best answer:

Answer by OnlyBegotten
Yes I have seen it with a family member myself.
Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse the soul, when you take Jesus Christ into your life, you are reborn in a sense.
God bless.
