‘The Un-Making of an Addict,’ Her Victory Over Addiction Through Faith

HIGHEST POWER –

Jan. 16, 2025 – When the airplanes struck the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, the shockwaves resonated beyond New York City.

For Phyllis A. Thorne, the tragedy ignited a fire within her soul, an awareness of the battle she was losing to drug addiction. It was in that tragic moment while sitting in a drug house in Saginaw smoking crack and watching the attack on television that she decided she would not let addiction write her ending.

“I remember seeing the plane crash into the building and I heard God say that my life could be over just like that,” Thorne said. “And if I didn’t change, I was going to lose my life.”

That year had already been a storm of loss and disruption for Thorne. On Feb. 6, her husband died. He was her anchor. Just a few months later, in May, her mother—her other pillar of strength—moved to Arizona.
