Winning With Addictions

I Don't quit. You will win Alcoholics Anonymous includes God The lesson: You have a spirit key That can take you to victory Never give in: be it good or dark, addiction Jesus for me, demoted love as emotion II Love is action, a verb Not Conquest, Souvenir, Trophy to brag On Facebook, social media, & kick to the kerb The one you took pictures with: proof You have what it takes to make IT luv U So emotional highs & lows are addictions Though sometimes abuse, not a crime But I needed Jesus to help me discern To make good judgment, hard with loved ones After years of trying, bible education, power Came in drops & drips: So, beloved don't quit The good fight: fight for what's Good. Jesus did

If we become nothing, we then are ready to become everything -- those who survive, are primed for greater victory. A wise aunt of mine, who had survived harsh conditions in Germany after the war, once told me, "the fault, if any, is not being in the gutter...it is not trying to rise above....".

Addictions though not easy to get over, through rigorous effort and steady will can be defeated ! Ceaseless effort and grace of God is the winner's formula. An eye opener to many !
