Sunday, at 7:30 am, Jeremy got on an airplane for Genesis Recovery in San Diego California. Addi took the picture above when I dropped him off at the airport. He's going to rehab.
8 months ago, life started getting really weird, and I thought Jeremy was severely depressed.
6 months ago, Jeremy confessed to struggling with an addiction, and he tried to clean up, get into counseling, and "manage things from home."
3 months ago, I knew things were so bad that the kids and I had to step away for a while, and we went to Indiana.
1.5 months ago a trusted friend came to stay with Jeremy, and love him like Jesus while I was gone.
3 weeks ago, it was clear that Jeremy had begun letting the Light in, and he surfaced enough to want out of his addiction, but did not know how.
He had become incredibly lost, and it was clear that rehab was what he needed. It was like ADD, depression and anxiety had collided into one huge storm that was exacerbated by the use of substances, leaving us with a shell of a person that looked like Jeremy but didn't act like him at all.
Jeremy said he would do anything for us, and was willing to seek professional help. I was daunted by the expense of rehab—and found that Christian facilities were sometimes even more costly. At first, he committed to a program that was $35,000 for 30 days. We were going to max out every credit card we had to send him.
Fortunately, after much research and help, we found Genesis Recovery. This facility is a Christ-centered, 12-step drug and alcohol rehab center and treatment program devoted to restoring the lives of men afflicted with addiction. And it was only $7,500.
The balance is due in full within the first 2 weeks of his stay—so anything that is donated here will go toward paying his balance at Genesis that is due on July 26.
I really hate asking for money—but I can't pretend like we don't need it. This has been the most difficult season of life for us yet. There are a number of complications to our situation, and any help we can get towards rehab would help alleviate financial stress.
I can't go into the darkness that this season has brought, but we have never felt so lost. If you are hearing about this for the first time, feel free to reach out to me. Most of our close friends and family are aware and have been supportive. Jeremy is an amazing person, and so loved by me, his family, his kids and so many others.
This battle is the Lord's, and my prayer is that God finishes the work he has begun on Jeremy's soul, and that through this he becomes fully known by his creator, fully healed and forever changed. There is no price that can be put on that.
Please don't share this on social media. If you have someone specific you would like to share it with, please reach out to me first. Thanks everyone.
Much Love, Emma.
