Kindred Spirits: A Devotional for Those Loving Someone Through Addiction

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Rezul -- Addiction doesn't just affect the person using substances — it touches every relationship around them. Kindred Spirits, a new devotional by Trish Stukbauer, offers daily reflections, prayers, and encouragement for people navigating the emotional and spiritual strain of loving someone through addiction.

Addiction in the United States affects a vast number of families and loved ones. Nearly half of U.S. adults report having a family member or close friend who has struggled with addiction at some point in their lives — underscoring how widespread its impact is beyond the individual.

Even more strikingly, recent research shows that approximately one in four children in the U.S. lives with a parent who has a substance use disorder (SUD) — a sobering snapshot of how many families are affected on a daily basis.

Written for people of faith who find themselves overwhelmed, exhausted, or spiritually adrift while loving someone who struggles with addiction, Kindred Spirits acknowledges the realities that many  guides overlook: the confusion, the sorrow, the unanswered prayers, and the hope that persists through it all.
