Scripture & Recovery... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Harleyrider · 02-25-2008, 07:44 PM

To help me in my recovery from drug addiction there are two scriptures I have written on the outside edges of my Bible that are a tremendous help .

Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course but the Lord determines his steps.

1 Cor. 15:33
Do not be misled; bad company corrupts good character.

This one is my biggest inspiration because everytime I feel like visiting my old drug buddies, it reminds me of how much trouble I might get into. I also came to realize that they don't care about me or were really my friends but was only when I was doing drugs with them that they were my friends.

That verse never stuck out for me till just now.
I always knew that I have a cameleon type personality so hanging around with other believers has been seen as a good thing for that reason vs hanging out with the old crowd.
Guess I am not so unique after all. Per the scripture it seems to be part of being human.
