Family Addiction, Mental Health and a whole lot of Faith
"In the madness of intrusive addiction behavior, I collapsed. Year after year, the plagues of turmoil swept over routines like a tsunami, overwhelming everything I knew." Addiction severs ties we never see. My rock bottom came after I unplugged from myself.
This is why!
Join me on my newest adventure as I share Authentic Truths throughout the week! Taken directly from my blog, I will highlight one to two pieces each week and give you the space to comment or ask questions as we go.
Considering addiction steals and destroys someone lost in the cycle, we forget how the tentacles of destruction reach family and friends. Evil is never satisfied with one. It thirsts for the souls of many. To those attached to addiction, consider this a reminder that you are not alone.
You can lose yourself by asking, “What did I do wrong?” You will evaporate chasing addiction further into itself.
You can only be the David of your own life. Satan is going to come at you through their addiction, but he’s coming at you for you. Don’t be so immersed in your desire to save your child that you forget yourself.
I suppose your heart is a bit hardened to the possibilities as you accept their choices and the outcomes of chronic substance use- jail, treatment, or death.
There’s been little conversation about the dilemma of grief in passing and grieving the living. Those hurting through loss need time for healing. They deserve the space and to allow the flow of emotion. I keep my turbulence to myself.
He knows when we look in the mirror and examine our sin and setbacks, we have no space for the offenses of others. Self-reflection will always soften the sharp edges of bitterness, anger, revenge, and control.
Be your own warrior who breaks free from something meant to harm you, silent your spirit, or intrude on what should be healthy, clear, and confident living.
