Decision

[Kasia9752]

Decision is the spark that ignites action. Until a decision is made, nothing happens.

So so very true. Without the decision, given with the help of HP, we don't stay clean, just dry. That decision enables us to grow and become mature, fun-loving, and able to deal with real life.

So true, Kasia! I learned that putting the drugs down was really only a first step. Then the real journey starts - recovery. I take actions every day to clean up the wreckage, reach out to other alcoholics and addicts and stay connected to my HP.

Faith without works is dead. Recovery without action is...? (not very fun and leads right back to using, IMO)

Thanks for the post!

Yes indead no matter what we decide we are making a decission. Either making a decission to do something or making a decission not to. Either way we are making a decission. It reminds me of the third step. "We made a decission...." So either we make a decission to turn our will and our lives or we don't..but both are a decission that we must take. One way or the other each day. Today I made a decission for the path of sobriety...Thank God for his grace and mercy...

There is a television evangelist named Joel Osteen, although he is a million times better than any evangelist and he really isnt one, its just a broadcast of his church service. I've been there, it's in houston at the old Compaq Center, that's how large his congregation is and he is amazing. I watched a sermon he gave on addiction and it was tremendous. www.joelosteen.com I high recommend you try to catch one of his sermons whenever you can, I guarantee you'll be hooked. Genesis 8:14 I believe it is god says to abraham "Is there anything too powerful for the lord?" The answer of course is no, through him you can do anything, overcome any obstacle and climb peaks higher than you'd ever believe possible. I recently started reading the bible and so far I've finished genesis and I am on exodus. It's really a page-turner, it's fascinating.

When you choose not to decide you still have made a choice --- Geddy, Alex, & Neil..

Joel's a cute kid. I like his sermons because he keeps it real, relates his experience instead of preaching at people. Another great one is Joyce Meyers. She also shares her personal discoveries and how scripture helped her through.
