We cannot save someone who isn’t ready to be saved.
In the throes of my addiction, I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t think straight. Every waking moment was influenced by a substance.
I was desperate.
When I was thrown a lifeline, I grabbed onto it. I didn’t know where it would take me but I took it anyway.
It wasn’t an intellectual decision. My soul was in pain.
My soul is no longer in pain, but the fire of desperation still burns inside of me. That’s why I keep doing what I was taught to do.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
