Changes and satan really working against me

[Wantingit]

Or trying real hard anyway. I decide to move to a sober living home which I did last saturday and I think it is the single most important decision in my adult life other than accepting Christ. I had posted on SR about whether or not I should be single or at least living on my own while I really work my recovery program.

Circumstances helped me to decide to do just that. Moved out of my girlfriends into sober living and things are now moving (i think) in the right direction. My gf and I are actually closer now that we are no longer living together but there has also been some very obvious spritual attacks since I made these decsions.

First I got into a fender bender on the way to pay to move in my new home, my gf's close friend suddenly went off on her about our relationship saying she was worried about her and her saftey because of our relationship??!! (really threw her for a loop, totally out of character for her) and then my ex-wife deciding that she was going to make things difficult for me to see our daughter because I had come clean to her that I had been struggeling lately with pills again.

I know these may not seem like much but it has all been since I decided to move out go to sober living and really turn it all over to God. Just crazy but not unexpected. If you could just pray for me I would apprieciate it!!

Thanks!!

I'm glad you have decided to move into the sober house.
I'm praying for you to stick with a good plan of recovery, and learn all that you can while you're there. Taking this action is very wise jmho, and I know that with a good plan of recovery in place, all the other issues of life will become more manageable. I love this part of a suggested opening reading from Al-Anon: "the family situation is bound to improve as we practice these principles in all our affairs..."

God bless you.

Amen to that I already feel better about me now I just have to learn to let go of all the things/people outside myself, that is the firs and biggest lesson I need to learn first.

Just remember to look at your sig line often..

"If nothing changes..NOTHING changes."

My sponsor says that the enemy's main goal is to render me useless for the kingdom.

He can't take my salvation...he uses "side attacks"..to distract, discourage and

attempt to defeat.

Making these changes do stir things up, don't they? I have certainly experienced

these myself. And not that long ago... Don't wonder at them.

This is what I found to be helpful.

Make (sure) your side of the street is clean.

Stay completely surrendered to Christ...you will find God is a constant source of help,

and Jesus walks by your right side in all circumstances in your attempts to live your new life.

Be tolerant of others and allow the Lord to fight your battles..oftentimes

they "know not what they do."

And ..I will pray for you.

Blessings
