The Disease of Addiction, Alcohol is a Drug
Quote:
He reminded me of another fellow I met who said he didn't drink but he sure enjoyed sitting in his easy chair with a big fat joint every night. My sponsor told me that sobriety means "soundness of mind." People in NA tend to think of it as belonging to the 'other' fellowship, yet who ever heard of having soundness of mind after smoking a joint or a pipe. The paranoia itself tends to make me question the fact that the mind is anywhere near sound.

No matter what the substance, it all leads to the same soul sickness. It is a continuous journey, a daily reprieve, and a grace which has given me the power to do for me what I could never do for myself. When I surrendered and asked for help, I was empowered to do what I needed to do for myself. This is a just for today program. All I have to do is deal with one day's feeling, thoughts, actions, situations, etc. I posted this on another site, sorry if this is a duplicate.

This is a disease of perception. How I perceive things may not mean the same to someone else. Not sure if this is computer blues or a flood of e-mails, or is it just all washed up? That was my thoughts when I saw this picture, what is your view? I also had the thought, "I'm all washed up" Not sure if it was me or my computer! I am only one, but I am one;
I cannot do everything But I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do, And what I out to do, By the grace of God I will do. If God brings you to it, God will bring you through it. http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcar...ode=1545489532 Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.
