I'm Finding The Answer

I will definitely keep that letter to look at when I am faced with temptation. To me, that symbolizes something very important to me that I stand to lose, if I continue to drink/drug. I have heard that your bottom occurs when the last thing you lost or the next thing you are about to lose is more important to you than the booze/drugs. Then, you realize that you need to throw that shovel down and stop digging. That is where I am at right now. I am at the turning point and this is also when I truly realized that half-measures availed me nothing. That is very true what has been said all along.

I definitely know that I am powerless over drugs and alcohol and that my life is unmanageable. I am unable to manage my own life and no human power can relieve me of my addiction but God can. I have to turn it over to my HP because my strength to win this battle is insufficient so I have to rely on my higher power. It is amazing to know that I am not alone in fighting this battle!
