Keith and Brooke Meyer: The Hope a Savior Brings in a Battle Against Addiction All In

    • Christianity

When Keith Meyer met his wife, Brooke, he was not a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In fact, the day he first saw her, he had a beer in his hand. Keith had started drinking in his youth, but it wasn't until three years into his marriage that he wondered if he might be an alcoholic. That was when his story of recovery and conversion truly began. And although it's a process that is ongoing—a true fight against an ever-present struggle—they believe it is a story worth telling.

“The message that I got was ‘You’re not fighting him. He’s not the battle. You need to battle with him together to fight this addiction.’”
