Hi. I’m Lynda. I struggle with addiction of more more more. I have come to know that addiction can hinder my life. Likewise, alcohol and drugs can deter me from being all that my higher power has intended for me.
To emphasize, I consider myself as a spiritual being living a human life. That is, my story perhaps is no different than the next person who struggles with addiction. But, one thing for sure, I make a conscientious decision daily to turn my will and my life over to the care of a power greater than myself. My dependence on God helps me to be independent, if that makes sense. In other words, I have choices now. I am no longer controlled by king alcohol and drug addictions.
I am grateful for my existence today, and for this reason I want to share my appreciation for life. This blog is a place I want to communicate with others without judgment. Besides, secrets can keep me in bondage.
So I welcome you to post some of your challenges with addictions. I also encourage those posts that show growth and stability.
“One day at a time” is my motto because I understand that I am only one thought, then a jig away from “Poor me, poor me, pour me another drink.” Through it all, grace and mercy have given me the courage to put one foot in front of the other. After all, with God’s help all things are possible. Philippians 4:13
My sobriety birthday is October 3, 2002.
