I'm thinking about 13 months ago when I finally beat prescription drug addiction...opiates, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants, etc...   I was not able to do it on my own;  I needed to totally submit to Jesus in order to  be forever free.  It wasn't until I lapsed into a coma, had a breakdown, and suffered severe withdrawal, that I realized it wasn't going to be by my power...it was going to be by God's Power to get free.  Initially, it was hellish to get through it;  once I did, it was so easy.  I learned to trust in Jesus...not just for being healed of addiction, but for every moment that I live and breathe.  Praise God, my joy has been made full.  Now, I am giving back to God by helping others who suffer the way I did.  Whatever the addiction, it takes courage, it takes much strength, it takes commitment, it takes crying until there are no more tears...most of all, it takes faith in our Living God.
