Relapses Happen

I just want to share with whoever might read this, if you are struggling with an addiction, you are not alone. There are many of us. There are places we get better, and people who help along the way. In light of my most recent relapse, I come to realize that I too often miss feeling gratitude for what’s been given me freely. A chance to turn my pain and heartache into hope for others. By leaning on the power of my God, I realize his wisdom is not for my condemnation, but ultimately, my joy in this world. If you are anything like me, you are all in if you are going to do something. Drugs, alcohol and relationships are all areas that this impulse has caused me a deal of trouble. Where my lust of the world and the eye has truly led me to confuse love. The love I feel from God, even right now on the street, reveals to me the kind I should have for others. A love that is unselfish and beneficial to everyone involved. If you love hard, good, but love yourself harder. Do what’s good and healthy for you, and let it be pure and not of the self and desire, and like I do now, you’ll see clearer than ever that your addiction is really a glimpse into what will be your saving grace. God Bless.
