Oxycontin Addiction and a mother's tough love. Recovery is possible! True story of tough love/prayer
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. If you are interested in seeing the book covers I created (I took photos of my paintings. Actual paintings are for sale, too), please go to my author site on Amazon called Sirius Art (see link below). Please follow as I am adding a lot more content daily. Journals, dream journal, notebooks, sketchbooks, prayer lists , sermon notes, password trackers, weekly meal planning and more! Sudoko, word search, word scramble, crosswords. Please FOLLOW my author page so you will see new merchandise as I upload it. I would certainly appreciate your support for small business!

Peter, 2 Corinthians 12:9 days, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Honestly, Jesus is the only way. God will help you if you call upon Him. Truth. I'm rooting for you!

@@RobynWingerter Amen sister! I am so inconsistent when it comes to GOD at times. I feel so ashamed. But i am going to put my ego to the side and ask for his help. This addiction is stronger than me and it is time i come to terms with that.
