Addiction
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....

With God, there was a beginning for knowing Him...but, there is no end. God's love and mercy and forgiveness are eternal and everlasting.

His ways are not necessarily our ways...so I've learned. It takes much time and much prayer to come to this conclusion. By "His", I mean God. Everyone today wants to to it their way.

I have dedicated the balance of my life here on earth to a ministry in addiction. For me, it was prescription drug addiction which I nearly died from. I was one of the tiny minority who didn't die of this very curable disease. You can check the stats, but, most will die of addiction who suffer addiction of any type. My oldest daughter nearly lost her life also because she watched me. I have to live with that. We were both blessed to receive the blessing of healing, however, and I consider us both victorious in the battle against drugs.
My focus here is on addiction and healing by Jesus our Messiah. He heals...forever...permanently. If I can be of any help whatsoever to any of you out there who read this, please write to me...this is why I'm alive.
God bless you all.
