The Story

Substance abuse and addiction darkened Daniel L. Trotter’s doorstep early. He was smoking by age seven, and by middle school, he was firmly entrenched in a risk-seeking lifestyle that included addictions to alcohol, drugs, and pornography. High school brought with it Daniel’s first dalliance with meth. Not surprisingly, he went to jail—more than once.

But after two decades of addiction—Daniel had had enough. So he tried replacing the drugs with exercise. He got strong. He began healing his body—but his mind was still a wreck. Depressed and suicidal, he was at the end of his spiritual rope. He needed a new kind of strength, and he found it after a radical encounter with God during a thirty-day fast in the wilderness.

Daniel’s memoir demonstrates that you can surmount any obstacle if you pursue a relationship with a God whose abilities are limitless. Daniel now supports anyone trying to overcome adversity and addiction. As you journey through the ups and downs of life with Daniel in A Different Kind of Strong, his passion for helping others move beyond recovery into true freedom will shine through.
