In 2009, my son was addicted to Oxycontin and suicidal. This is a the story of the night I had to commit him to the psych ward. God sent two earthly angels to give me the strength to do what I had to do to save my son.
I believe prayer works.
July 24, 2016, I had the worst hangover of my life. I was drinking constantly, blacking out drunk every day and my health was in dire straights. I had done something truly stupid the night before and I was at my rock bottom. I knew I couldn't go on like that and I also knew that my true self was dying from the poison. The REAL me was being held captive by the habit of abusing alcohol. I had to break that habit and fast.
I quit. Cold Turkey. It was rough. Alcohol doesn't leave your body for 10 days. But, day after day I felt better. I talked OUTLOUD to myself whenever I wanted to drive to the store and get a box of wine... playing it forward in my mind and the end result was never good. Your mind and words are POWERFUL and you can change your mind about alcohol and taking that drink. PSA: The first drink is the biggest liar EVER. Walk away. Don't believe you can have just one. Walk away. Go for a walk. Call someone. Sit with your craving and actually think about how you're feeling and thinking and why. Are you lonely? Tired? Hungry?
You have to replace the alcohol with something. Figure it out.
My health is dramatically better, my mental state is actually happy, I sleep better, I have saved over $15,000 and I feel serene and peaceful in my spiritual life.
YOU CAN QUIT DRINKING, TOO!
I've also been able to be incredibly creative and started using my God-given talents to do some acrylic painting. I would never have been able to create like this if I had been blacked out drunk.
