Witness Wednesday - Matt Kacprzyk - From Alcohol To Freedom

Send Us Your Questions/Comments He tried willpower. He tried “cutting back.” He tried detox. None of it touched the one thing he kept admitting out loud: he didn’t want to drink anymore, but he couldn’t not drink. Matt Kacprzyk joins us for a Witness Wednesday story that moves from a happy childhood in Middletown, Delaware into family collapse, bitterness, and a years-long battle with alcoholism that brought withdrawal, blackouts, DUIs, and moments that easily could have ended in tragedy. We talk honestly about how addiction grows in plain sight, how secrecy and shame hollow out relationships, and why consequences often fail to change the heart. Matt shares the turning points that started breaking through his skepticism: a near-death seizure on a hiking trip, a growing pull toward church through the woman who became his wife, and one unforgettable moment on the side of Route 1 when a desperate prayer was met by unexpected help. From there, we dig into what surrender to Jesus looked like in real life and the miracle Matt describes as the desire to drink disappearing. Sobriety is not the end of the story. We also unpack the hard work that followed: rebuilding trust, walking through marriage conflict, getting counseling, and learning how community keeps healing moving forward. You’ll hear about Lifehouse ministries like Reclaim and Recover and Re Engage, and why forgiveness and reconciliation are possible even after years of damage. If you’re searching for addiction recovery, Christian testimony, marriage help, or hope that change is real, this conversation is for you.
