Fighting addiction with faith in heart
 

Hi there!
I want to start that I'm sober for 5 months and it is God who's helped me recover. Everything started 3 years ago when I lost my close friend, he died in the auto accident. His death was a terrible news for me. I couldn't eat, sleep, and be among people. It was a dark period of my life when I was smoking, drinking and used drugs. Everything good passed away with him. But one day changed my life, I met a man who helped me overcome my substance abuse and accept my grief. He was the one who let God enter my heart. I have undergone treatment in the inpatient rehab where faith was a part of the recovery program (we found it via Addiction Resource). Now, I'm clean, with the pure mind and full of happiness soul.
I know that my life will never be the same. At the same time, God is with me now and I won't be lost again!

That's great to hear. yes, I went through the same, you and I just use different names for it. I call it Higher Self. Overcoming addiction (our lower self aspects) with awakening and inspiration of heart (our Higher Self guidance).

Baile's advice is very good. We all have within us a true voice of reason that gives us strength to meet the challenges we face each day.

Hello

It is a day to day journey we all walk no matter what we have in our life path. Everyday is a new day that can bring to us both joy and sorrows. It is how we take on the challenges that defines us. What I do know is that we are never alone on that walk we take, we have our Guides and Higher Power's to be there with us.

I bless you on your journey forwards.

Hello friend,
I have also been there battling the shadow self through past addictions. But certainly the last 6 years have been filed with light and love. My faith keeps me alive and for me I have forgiven that part off my life that I went through it open me up to a spiritual awakening and seeing how beautiful life can be and each day I look forward to creating something new and spreading my love to all I come to be with.

Thats nice to hear. I feel your pain- feet along the path of life.

I'm glad to hear you are not only sober, but that you had someone who cared about you enough to help you through your dark time.
