July 22 CHP 6 v 2 v 3 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS
Have compassion on me ,Lord ,for I am weak . Heal me , Lord ,for my bones are in agony.
I am sick at heart .How long , O Lord , until you restore me?(GODS BIG BOOK)
Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and that our lives had become unmanageable.
When your sick ,you go to a doctor to get an antibiotic and you get better !At least most of the time that's how it happens. Now your addicted and you need help and you go to a doctor and you are told ,their is something wrong with your head so keep coming back and we will talk about why your head is messed up and while we are at it I want you to take these four different pills three times a day . One year goes by and your worse off than when you started ! Read the verse above and ask yourself ,does my heart hurt ? That is where 100 percent of our sadness and pain comes from . Get your heart right by forgiving yourself and others ! God and Jesus are the only higher Powers that can fix a broken heart .How many pills and visits to the shrink is gonna take for you to realize ,this is not working for me ,I need more and I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
restore - return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

I have often achingly thought of my boy's last breaths in the ambulance, praying the EMTs held his hand...Tonight I received this note from an EMT in NY and share with permission:
"Kimberly. I'm an EMT, the epidemic we're dealing with right now is hard on everyone. The family, friends and the provider responding to the call. Its so hard to see past the scene sometimes. Past the addict. But they have a name, a heart, a family and they are loved. Stories like yours make us see past all that and see the person they are. People like you are why we as EMTs won't give up. Life is too beautiful to be stolen by a needle. I will fight this epidemic until my last breath. I've seen so many beautiful lives taken far before their time. I pray providers who transported your son prayed with him. Thank you for carrying on your son’s story. I'll be lifting you up in prayer. I am so very sorry for your loss."
Please be grateful for our EMTs, and particularly this dedicated, compassionate EMT in NY.
Thank you all for your continuous support in heightening addiction awareness by voting here --You may vote daily till July 22

A Subject So Often Hidden in Darkness....YES I AM AN ADDICT’S MOM
Written by TAM Mom Gail Simmons
.
I can still hear my dearest friend’s uncontrollable guttural screams bouncing off the panels of the inside of the ambulance. As we raced down the winding road to survival, I watched the tears trickle down the driver’s face. He kept softly repeating, in a trance like state, that this career choice was more than he could stomach. He did not know how much longer he wanted to be a witness to this played out scenario.
.
As they hurriedly wheeled the gurney into the ER, silence filled the room. This time no more chances were given. I heard the DR. say, “It’s another DOA.” Everyone was affected.
.
Her son lost his battle with addiction that night. As the truth unraveled, her loss continued. The stigma, the stares, the whispers, the glares. “She’s the addict’s mom.” They said.
.
Searching for support she finally found a group that felt right. She is now a member of the Addict’s Mom.
.
The Addict’s Mom is a support group founded in 2008, by Barbara Theodosiou. When Barbara realized two of her four children were practicing addicts, she knew she had to react. With over 30,000 followers as of 2015 she had access to an unending amount of support and information.
,
Still – her son Daniel was found DEAD in April of this year.
,
In its “Path of Wrath” it does not care. Rich or poor, red, yellow, black or white, educated, or uneducated. Unfortunately all stirred into the same melting pot.
Substance Abuse Awareness Month is in September each year. It is a month long of awareness campaigns addressing the stone cold facts. As an organization we understand the need for continued and ongoing awareness. The Addict’s Mom participates with open arms.
,
Our “Lights of Hope,” campaign spreading clear across the United States, gives our communities and opportunity to group together and gather strength and wisdom from one another. Three candles will be lit.
,
• A white one for those in recovery
• A red one for those who are still using
• A black one for our lost loved ones
.
Join in our organizations planning of these events in hopes of uniting in our fight of this horrible disease that is claiming the lives of our precious children.
.
Sunday September 13th is our official date, but you can set YOUR EVENT for any day during the month of September. The Addict’s Mom embraces this opportunity to share and show support. Won’t you join us by hosting, attending or promoting a “Lights of Hope” event in your area?
.
Let us know longer walk in darkness alone.
.
Yes I deeply understand. As my only child died from a drug overdose as well.
.

July 18 CHP 37 v 5 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS
Commit your way to the Lord ,Trust also in Him And he shall bring it to pass.(GODS BIG BOOK)
Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
God will bring you out of addiction ! God waited a year and a half to get me out of my sixteen year run. Delivered instantly could happen I have witnessed it but that doesn't happen for everybody ! That could be one of the reasons many of us give up on God because we don't get what we want when we want it .Society and life are geared toward , I want it now and it better make me feel good ! When we don't get what we want right now we get angry at God for not doing what we want when we want it .He is not a Genie in a bottle! With me He brought me out gradually because , I think God knew , I could not handle it all at once. I have seen far too many never make it pass steps one and two because they were insincere and hard headed and they got buried way too soon. If you are truly broken without hope tired and sick and you just cant keep going then your ready to hit your knees and cry out to God surrender and ask Him to help you change your life. The verse today is a Promise from the creator of you and the world and God does not break promises like we do !
(Joshua 1:8-9 NIV) Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. {9} Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”(GODS BIG BOOK) By Joseph Dickerson
