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.

Lynn

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.

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.
