Such an illness that many suffer from...so sad.

Our lives blown like a hurricane Scattered pieces 'cross our world's domain We've sworn to Christ in Jesus name I've wondered if everyone's stems like mine Like grapes bunched on a twisted vine

Absolutely anything can become addictive and people swear if God will help them this one time they will never do it again

Hello Charles, as a therapist you touched a deep place in my heart. The image of our lives scattered like pieces in a hurricane is such a powerful way to capture the chaos many of us feel. I find myself wondering the same thing you do, if everyone’s journey feels as tangled as mine, like grapes bunched on a twisted vine. In the midst of it all, the grounding truth is that we’ve sworn to Christ in His name. We’re not alone in this struggle. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
