Sober New Year’s Parties and Resolutions? Not a Fan…

Sober New Year’s Parties and Resolutions? Not a Fan…

By Nicola Lee, Saturday, December 29, 2018 8:42 AM
  I am not a fan of New Year’s Eve parties and nights out. I find all that hugging and Happy New Year chanting a bit much and incredibly uncomfortable. In my active drinking days, I would rarely remember midnight as I almost always blacked-out – either awake or asleep.   What I do love […]

Proverb 14 v 14 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Proverb 14 v 14 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Backsliders get what they deserve;
good people receive their reward.


STEP 3. I will make a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God.

The Proverb is right too the point , no sugar coating here . When we hand it over and give it to God we cant keep taking it back . I struggle with this but as I get older , I am getting better at getting out of Gods way. There were plenty of times I let pride convince me , I don't need God ! I can handle this , wrong right back on my face is where I landed again and again as long as I had control . The excuses , too be honest I wrote the book on excuses and I was the king of the blame game. It was what you did or said that made me go out and use . Bullspit , it was me and my foolish pride trying too make you pay for my mistakes. Sitting here writing this is really bringing it home , I was such a fool to think if we commit step three and let go that I can keep taking it back over and over again. I gave it too God because I had no idea on how to live my life as a human , I was too busy running around loose like a wild animal .

Matthew chapter 10 v 38 - Those who do not take up their cross and follow in my STEPS are not fit to be my disciples .

Dear Joseph,

Right now, millions of families need support and hope. I know this because we talk with them every day. They’re hopeless and too afraid to talk to even their closest friends because of the stigma that surrounds substance use.
MATCH MY GIFT

No family should have to struggle with their loved one’s substance use disorder alone. That’s why the Partnership provides families with one-on-one support through our Parent Helpline and Parent Coaching program. Parent Support Specialists and our trained volunteer Parent Coaches are here with the knowledge and compassion families need.

Your tax-deductible gift will do so much for families. Plus, your support will be doubled by our Board of Directors if given before December 31. Your donation of $25 will become $50; $50 will become $100 and so on. Help us connect with even more families, empowering them with the tools and guidance they need to feel less alone and know that families can heal.

Please take advantage of this special matching gift opportunity. Make your donation today.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Mustacchio Signature
