I'm 23 years old and have dealt with a really dirty habit for a few years; that being smoking marijuana. I was fired from a college-affiliated internship in Minnesota in 2024 due to my excessive consumption. Thankfully, due to my 3.6 GPA at the time and work experience portfolio going into the internship that my program director described as "one of the best he'd ever seen," he and the folks at the university decided to let me stay in the major I'm in still to this day. Well, like a big idiot, I continued to use on and off for the next two years. In my most recent internship in Indiana, there was a really weird loophole that I found. It is a state that marijuana is technically illegal in, but in this state you can sell THC infused beverages with a valid liquor license. This is the case in I believe only three states. About halfway into the internship I ended up trying one and was hooked immediately. Fast forward about three months and I'm drinking a six pack of these everyday and my internship supervisor is beginning to notice my decline in performance from it and wants me gone. I know I'm dead and kicked out of the program and possibly college altogether if I'm fired again. March 18th, 2026 was the day I heard the Lord Jesus speak to me and he told me that if I didn't drink another drop of THC or alcohol for the rest of the internship (April 30th) then I would not get fired no matter what. I thought to myself that this internship has not gone nearly as well as I wanted it to and I might as well try to finish strong by being a man of my word on a promise I made to God. April 15th, 2026 was a horrible day at work and my supervisor called me "out of touch" and "unfit to do the job." Immediately my thought was this towards God. "You lied to me. 27 days of sobriety and improvements in work quality and repair in professional relationships for nothing!" Now this store who sells these THC drinks was on the exact road between my place of work and the place I was living at the time, and I was fully committed to pulling off into the parking lot and drinking as many as I could that night because it wasn't going to matter anyway. I had my phone on a random infinite playlist in apple music and less than a mile away from the liquor store, Not Alone by All That Remains came on. The chorus hit me: "With a touch of Your hand, I am whole again." I knew at that moment the Lord saved me and was consistent with his promise because I had been true to my word up until then. It was one of the most emotional, spiritually conscious, and victorious moments in my life. Of all the songs that could have played out of hundreds, God picked this one for that exact moment in that exact scenario. I finished the internship, got an 80% on my evaluation, and an 88% on my portfolio, have only two classes left and will be graduating in December. I understand that Phil Labonte has said firmly many times that he is not a Christian and neither is the rest of the band, but my interpretation of this song relates to the story in Luke 8:43-48 where the Bible says: "And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace." Thy faith hath made thee WHOLE. THE. EXACT. WORD. USED. All That Remains may not be a Christian band, but their lyrics are heavily influenced by the Bible and Christianity not just here, but in some of their other works as well as this thread has discussed. I have a strong suspicion that Phil is a closet Christian that does believe Jesus is the Lord and Savior. I pray this is true, and if not, I pray Phil and the rest of the band find the Lord because they are overall very good human beings that deserve God's love and mercy. They helped a young man out more than they will ever know. Three months sober, 3.7 GPA, have lost 25 pounds due to better eating habits now that weed doesn't dictate what I eat, and am becoming a Christian who walks the walk. Thank you, All That Remains and thank you to the r/christcore community for having a platform where I could share this.
