Many of us look to our faith for direction when faced with problems in life, and Dennis Quaid is no exception.<\/p>\n

Every day, Quaid told People, \u2018I’m grateful to be alive and to still be here.\u2019 Because there are many <\/p>\n

obstacles and difficulties in life, it’s crucial to truly appreciate the journey as much as you can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The problems facing Quaid are not unusual.<\/p>\n

After a promising start to his career, he eventually checked himself into rehab due to his difficulties with addiction. <\/p>\n

\u2018I remember going home and having kind of a white light experience where I saw myself either dead or in jail or losing everything I had, and I didn’t want that.\u2019<\/p>\n

The 69-year-old singer and actor said how addicts seek for substances \u2018to fill a hole inside us,\u2019 but that after they break the cycle, they need to find something else to satisfy that need.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was Quaid’s faith, after all.<\/p>\n

He started reading the Bible and the Quran as well as writing a song for his mother \u2018to let her know I was okay, because I wasn’t okay before that.\u2019<\/p>\n

He remembered, \u2018That’s when I started building a personal relationship.\u2019 \u2018Up until then, despite having grown up as a Christian, I didn’t have one.\u2019<\/p>\n

Quaid still has a connection to his religion.<\/p>\n

According to the actor, the songs on his upcoming album Fallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners are \u2018self-reflective and self-examining, not churchy.\u2019<\/p>\n

No matter if you identify as a Christian or not, everyone has a relationship with God.<\/p>\n

\u2018We’re all seeking happiness, and drugs, alcohol, and other vices can quickly provide that for you, no matter who you are. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then they become enjoyable, enjoyable with troubles, and eventually just difficulties. In actuality, <\/p>\n

the joy of life\u2014which is our gift\u2014and the connection to God that everyone of us has\u2014is what we’re really searching for. The happiness of living lies at its core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many of us look to our faith for direction when faced with problems in life, and Dennis Quaid is no exception.
