Forgiven

The first step in recovery of any kind is saying we need recovery, we need help. I remember the old Saturday Night Live show...you know the original members? Chevy Chase would say, "Hi, I am Chevy Chase, and you're not!"
Those of us in real recovery would never deny God being who He is...yet, we love to play Him don't we?....Playing God allows us to cover our fears....no one has to know who we really are as long as we call the shots...we think we can play God better than He can be God. It would be a revelation if we heard Him actually say, "Hi, I am God, and you're not"...in fact for many of us that would be a relief...... but instead we press ahead making the same old mistakes....God watching...and the mistakes we make lead us to the mess of our lives.
Wow....we end up doing the same old things, make the same old mistakes, and people get hurt just like before and we wonder why.
This blog is about getting honest with ourselves and God....I am going to tell my story....some out of my journal....thoughts about recovery...thoughts about God...thoughts about life...thoughts about relationships....and just thoughts in general about living....it may not get you sober...but it did me....and I hope my candor will help you take even a first step toward healing.
If you want to listen, then do so....if you don't...then this blog is not for you.
It is from a biblical and spiritual nature....I didn't get sober without God...hence, the addiction to Grace....I will speak to that along the way....just sit back and read..... it is unashamedly biblical....so the Bible will be quoted much.....with no apology....
My demon has been alcohol....to be sure....but we all are in recovery from something.....sin in general....so whatever your"demon"....perhaps you will find hope here. In Jesus' name all demons are defeated....so let's go to war together! I stand with you in your battle and will fight with you!!
