Well, many of the Christians on the site openly admit to have had a drug problem and it was their finding Christianity that helped them. Personally, I think they just found people who were willing to help them, and were willing to accept the whole deal, lock, stock and barrel.
If I joined a rehab maybe, had I been an down and out having
lost everything in my life that was meaningful maybe, but that was
not what happen to me. I just got out of the Navy, I was working
as a summer help pipefitter making over 14 an hour with no bills
or anything else to hinder me. I was partying almost all the time
because I could, and it was in the middle of all of that when I got
saved. I didn't turn away from drugs right away, because I was
enjoying them to much, but did turn away from them when I had
to acknowledge to myself I was walking in darkness in the since
that I had to hide part of my life to the rest of the world. If I had
to hide it, there must have been something wrong with it that, and
now that I had Christ in my life I now cared about such things and
turned away from that life style. That happened in 1980 so it has
been a few years ago, but Jesus is still Lord of my life and has
kept me through some hard things I would not wish on anyone.
