getting help
Been at this my whole life, getting wired up, needing that extra feeling comfort.
Not knowing the right way to feel. Having my life and freedom torn from my control. Asking God everyday to take this addiction from me and continuing to get high.
Never giving up hope though. I love the high but I love the idea of a life better. A true life.

Hi and welcome Keith 
You'll find a lot of support here
I used to pray for God to take my alcoholism too but He nmevber did - I think I can see why now...
I would have learned nothing had my affliction just been taken from me...
God can move mountains...but he wanted me to get my hands dirty too
You can absolutely have that whole and true life

I did a Sex an Addiction Men's workshop with a friend who is a Pastor. The writer of the Book we used was a Pastor, and his response to man that asked him to pray that God would 'deliver' him from his addictive behavior was ... "that means God would have to remove your brain and replace it with a new one".
For me, WORKING THRU the 12 Steps of AA actually changed my brain chemistry, and coupled with SURRENDERED Prayer & Meditation freed my Spirit from bondage to my Flesh/Self.
I now realize that my prayers used to be my Flesh trying to Fix Myself by 'being spiritual'. I could not Fix my Spiritually Diseased Self with my Spiritually Diseased Self.
Thanks for your post Keith.

Hi Keith, congratulations on reaching out. You will never find out who you truly are until you can go through a extended period of your life high. You may or may not like the real you, but I'm guessing you will love the real you, and you will see that life can actually be very interesting and gratifying.
