DEALING WITH ADDICTION |
Remember I used harmful substances for over half my life.
I lost a lot financially! My home! My health! My wife!
Breaking my old habits is a struggle to this day.
To keep me out of trouble, I attempt it in this way.
The devil taunts me daily with his devilish temptation.
Please don't believe, by any means, I'm free of
aggravation.
For me, remaining sober is a daily, upward chore.
That's why I need new habits and new thinking more and more.
I start my day with worship, counting blessings God had gave.
I ask him for his guidance and he helps me, well behave.
I pray he show his will for me to help me win this fight.
I listen when he speaks to me, discerning wrong from right.
I do my best at modeling him. To try to be his double.
I know I'll never do it! Still, it keeps me out of trouble.
Each day I do the work he gives, that I might be his treasure.
It's when I truly think like that, my life becomes a
pleasure.
I have no doubts of where I'm going or fears that I will
fail.
He showed me how to handle life. I've got it by the tail.
The answer is so obvious, I finally am aware:
It's daily and consistently, each moment, be in prayer.
Christ is by my side, and he affects my each decision.
I went thru life a blind man. He has filled me with his vision.
Each time temptation rises, I ask God for what to do.
He helps me make the proper choice. He'll do the same for
you.
