He Helped Me Through Rock Bottom

[EnterLight]

Sunday I spent the night in the hospital and almost died, reached a .4 bal and if I had drank anymore, I would've gone into a coma or never woke up.

throughout the years I feel like I have been constantly watched over. I've made poor decisions but never any legal trouble, never any health issues related to substance abuse.

After rolling the dice so many times and the possibility of not waking back up I woke up with the resounding choice to say no, for life and with thanks for deliverance.

I had an understanding that my prayers more than likely haven't been answered because I've been actively sinning. More than ever I have a desire to go to the lord for comfort and not a bottle.

I am very thankful and am offering some hope to others even if they are actively struggling, currently in recovery or binded by any substance in the hope of relieving their pain.

God Bless

The best thing you can do is what you are doing Put your hope and faith in the Lord and keep only positive people in your circle. God will see you through this.

Prayers for success in your struggle

You know what? God answer's sinner's prayers all the time. Of course it's best to not sin, and sin does get in the way of our relationship with him. But he still hears them, and he's always ready to take us back. And don't we make a mess of our lives when we're away from him?

As it turns out, hitting rock bottom may be the best thing that ever happened to you. In his mercy, he saw you through it. Now you know just how much you need him. And may you never forget!

The twelve steps are, at their core, basic Christian discipleship. Many groups tend to water them down and even take God out of them. I encourage you to not do that, but instead embrace the twelve steps as a tool that helps keep you on track with the Lord- the only one that can save you from this mess.

Have you found a group of similar addicts you can met with for support?

It seems often that God intervenes at our darkest hour.

Please consider finding fellowship in a loving church group and if there is prayer offered, be first in line.

It took me 7 years of fellowship and ministry to feel normal again - He is faithful - now my life is more than I could ask or think.

A prayer that helped me:

“God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Enter light, thank you for your post. I hope you are still doing well! Reading your message helped me, because I’ve been in and out of sobriety since a relapse in 2020. I’m fighting my way back now and it’s been lonely and difficult.

Some days I feel like God must think I’m a broken record, because I say the same thing to him and then I fail again. It reminds me of Paul talking about doing what he didn’t want to do. I’ve always wondered what the “thorn” in his side was and if it could’ve been addiction. It doesn’t really matter. It was something that caused him to fall away from God, to struggle and to feel very depressed and alone. That is how I feel.

I can especially relate to this line of your post:

“I had an understanding that my prayers more than likely haven't been answered because I've been actively sinning. More than ever I have a desire to go to the lord for comfort and not a bottle.”

May God continue to bless you, strengthen you and dray you close to him as you become even stronger in sobriety.
