I even was allowed to bring my guitar! It was good because it forced me to deal with issues I had buried. I struggled quite a bit but finally the miracle happened for me. The obsession to use has been lifted and I love life and my recovery and I am looking forward to a year clean so I can go to hospitals and jails to spread the message of recovery. Without your help I would have overdosed because I felt hopeless to get into rehab. You guys put me in touch with the person who found a place for me when all others turned me down because of my Medicare. I will never forget and will pass it on whenever possible."

December 1 Chp 38 v 1 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

STEP 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God.

God has a plan to prosper you , to give you a life and hope. So why do you keep trying to do things on your own and according to what you want.Will a round peg fit in a square hole. Why do we keep trying to force that peg in . No matter how hard we try to get it to fit it wont. Living life out of Gods plan is gonna lead to frustration , sorrow , and exhaustion .Most who are caught in active addiction self medicate to deal with the frustration felt from ones mistakes .Some die young fighting to do it their way never realizing , god had a plan .The steps will get you to point A but you gotta let God take you the rest of the way. God is the beginning and the end and He has a future for you and it does not include anything you have in mind. LET GO LET GOD !

Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
