way biblical ex-drug addicts

yesterday on our lessons we had two ex drug addicts
sharing about their lives
it was so inspiring and got me way excited.
they told about this place where they went to rehabilitate.
its a place where they do it without any medicines,
using the comminity as a source of strength and different kind of therapies.
they live as a family, and their values (and they are not only in word, but actually in action) are honesty and openness. they deal emotions through and talk and solve problems together. so biblical.
its a funny thought that in order to be living in a community in finland you need to be an ex- drug addict.
its also kind of sad, what they shared about the cultural shock after leaving the community. how they really needed to watch their behaviour and what they talk about. finnish culture would need the straight talk from open and honest people. maybe here is one way I could learn to turn this culture upside down. but I do need quite a lot of grace to learn to grow in to it. :)
