Addiction & Freedom

Addiction is one of the most destructive battles a person can face. It destroys confidence, damages families, and steals the future God intended. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography, vaping, prescription misuse, or any habit that controls a person’s life, addiction is a heavy chain the enemy uses to keep people bound. But at Freedom Church Cairns, we believe what the Bible boldly declares in John 8 “whom the Son sets free is free indeed.”

Addiction is not just a physical or emotional struggle—it’s a spiritual one as well. Many people feel trapped, ashamed, or convinced they will never change. Some have tried to quit countless times, only to fall back into the same cycle. But the truth is simple: freedom is possible. Jesus breaks strongholds. He restores what was lost. He gives the strength a person cannot find on their own.

At Freedom Church Cairns, we provide a safe, confidential environment for anyone battling addiction. There is no judgement, no condemnation—only genuine support, prayer, and guidance. Our pastoral team walks with individuals step-by-step, helping them rebuild their identity, renew their mind, and find the courage to rise again. We also partner with trusted Christian recovery programs and counsellors when specialised help is needed.

Addiction thrives in secrecy, but healing begins the moment someone reaches out. You don’t have to face this fight alone. Whether you’re struggling personally or you’re watching a loved one spiral, there is hope. We’ve seen lives restored, marriages healed, minds renewed, and people who once felt broken become living testimonies of God’s power.

If you or someone you care about needs help, reach out today. Call Freedom Church Cairns at 07 4031 4130 for confidential support, prayer, and guidance.

If you or someone is in immediate danger, call emergency services right now on 000.

Your addiction is not your identity. Your past is not your destiny. Through Christ, freedom is real—and your breakthrough can begin today.
