    I had a similar experience 10 years ago when I felt the power of the priesthood manifested from the laying on of hands. It was not one of the 12 apostles. It was from our ward employment specialist. A saint of an old man who honored and loved his priesthood. Changed my life! Thank you for your story, Austin! Hopefully I’ll see you one day in the Taylorsville temple (: my parents are workers there

    Awesome thanks for sharing your testimony gives much strength to many others including myself. I understand and feel the struggle and pains. I'm currently doing the Healing through the Savior ARP 12 months now, and has given me much strength and power to carry on. I've still got a long way to go but still learning how to surrender fully, so it was great to hear your story and how you surrendered. ❤

    I love how Austin was guided to the temple. It truly is a beacon of light and a place of healing and strength. I'm super impressed at the 180 this man was able to make. Maybe my thoughts wandered and I missed this, but I wondered if Austin went to an actual rehab facility, or was working with a Bishop enough?

    I love this story. Between his mention of not being worthy and the experience he had where God had a very clear hand in his life it made me think of something I discovered while studying about the topic of worthy. One definition of worthy is “deserving of one’s time, attention, interest, work or trouble”. According to Moses 1:39 all mankind is worthy of Gods time, attention, interest, work or trouble. We connect with God when we open our eyes to the ways he is trying to touch us.

    Loved your story, Austin.
    Though aspects of your story feel more extreme than some people experience, the process of turning to God, acting in faith, and allowing the power of the atonement to work in our hearts and lives is the same for all of us. Thank you for being a good example of this and sharing your story.

    Any addiction can damage you in myriad ways. It's not worth it to give in to the temptations we face. This man's experience bears this out.
    If we do give in to temptations, Father has planned a way for us to be able to overcome them through Jesus Christ's Atonement. This way, the only way, can give us hope.
