TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM SCRIPTURE

Psalm 88v3 -For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to the grave.

2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

I have been here a few times in life and trying to make it better on my own just makes things worse! Broken is what I would call it.Physically mentally and Spiritually broken no hope ready to die! Whether we like it or not this is the best place to be to start recovery. We have to come to the end of ourselves and discover God.

Does Relapse Mean Failure?

by Ron Grover

He relapsed, does that mean he failed?

It seems like over and over it’s the same old crap, every time.

Won’t he ever just GET IT?

Those words were expressed very loudly by a father of a son with a drug addiction: Me.

No, no, no, this isn’t a current rant. Everything is still good with my son today. These are the words that still echo in the walls of our home.

We all evolve and learn in the process of parenting someone with an addiction. When I first entered this world, my way of thinking was cut and dried, black and white. You either recovered or you didn’t. If you didn’t, you failed.

Well, learning is hard, especially if you happen to be an adult. And when learning involves first unlearning what you believe to be true, it is particularly difficult.

I struggled a lot. It literally took me years to understand what so many people told me over and over: Relapse is a part of recovery. It was hard to accept this idea when I couldn’t relate it to what I’d experienced and believed in my life.
