Its real easy to get caught in a world of addiction
and
self medication.
This world is a hard place to live in and for some of us
out here, life
can be way to painful sometimes. But if you
give God the chance, He will
turn your life around and you
can find the hope you need to go on.
All to often we don't want to look at the real issue, we
just want to cover
it up with our drug of choice. Some of
us have Doctors who are willing
to write those
prescriptions that numb the pain we are feeling. Some of
us
are social drinkers. Some of us are occasional users. Some
of us
have just plain given up and quit trying to rebuild
our lives. Whatever
your method of dealing with addiction
and life, this article is meant
in a caring way and even
though it sounds a little harsh, I pray you will
be impacted
enough to allow God to change your world.
All to often the words or excuses that filter through the
layers of pain
are :
you just don't understand what I have been through. Or you
could
never understand my life or what has really happened.
Or maybe, if my
life had happened to you, you would be
using too.
I don't want to appear as heartless because I'm not but I do
want to try
and help you understand that you have the power
in your heart to change
your life, if you really want to.
God is a very powerful God and as in
the middle of your
pain and addiction, He is there.
This article mainly is focused on people who are abused
hurting people
and their addictions, but, if you are reading
this and you find something
that will help you change your
life, then God has led you to this site
to help you.
Abuse comes in so many forms and whatever type of abuse you
are living
in, changes your life forever. Some of us find
it much easier to throw
in the towel and continue living in
our situations because we feel like
we deserve it. This
couldn't be farther from the truth.
I don't know what kind of abuse you are living in but I do
want to tell
you that it only has as much power as you
allow it to have.
Maybe we
pick up that drink or maybe we pop that pill or
smoke that joint to put
us in a place where nothing bothers
us anymore. We just continue on getting
high as a way to
put off having to change our lives.
Whatever the case may be, your life and the lives of those
people who
love you are being ruined by your addiction. All
you are really doing
is teaching those people that you can
cover up the problems one way or
the other. I can't stress
this enough, your life is making an impact on
your family
and friends and maybe you don't even realize it. What
message
or learning pattern do you want to leave behind,
when you have gotten
so stoned that you don't care anymore?
There are many agencies out there that are there to help
you and I urge
you to call your helpline to police station
to find out what your options
are. Yes it will be hard to
get started because you are going to have
to lay your story
on the line and ask for help, but, if you are really
interested enough in helping yourself and those who are in
your life,
you will be willing to reach out for the help
you need to get your life
back on track.
Drugs are not worth ruining your life over.. Your abuser
wins everytime
you get stoned. It doesn't matter how long
you have been in your situation,
it doesn't matter if you
think you deserve the abuse or not, it only matters
that
you can have enough hope to rebuild your life. Those people
are
out there to guide you and assist you in taking control
of your life.
And if you have children, I want you to take a long hard
look at what
your children are being taught. You
can bet that your life is
a story book of learning for
them. They will repeat or live in just what
you have taught
them to live in.
I am online most of the time and can be reached in many
ways and I want
to let you know that I am here to talk to
and assist you in whatever way
I feel God leads me too. My
email is awiusdi@poncacity.net or I can be
reached with
Yahoo or Aol or Compuserve messenger. My Yahoo ID is
AwiDarnell.
My Aol or Compuserve ID is AWIUSDI2000. I am
rarely on ICQ but I do have
an ID number and will recieve
your messages when I log on. My ICQ number
is 39111060.
Please I urge you to reach out to your Christian Community.
They are more
than willing to help you rebuild your life.
But you have to take the first
step. We aren't mind readers
and we don't know your needs, but, if you will
let us know, we
will show you the power God can really have in your life.
MY Website starts at :

helpful hints
