I posted a few days ago about how my boyfriend was having drug problems and I was very concerned. I've been praying my butt off.
He called me tonight. He hasn't called in a week, which he apologized for. He told me that the cops ripped his apartment apart, looking for drugs. He didn't get in trouble for anything. And he's had way too many bad things happen, hanging out with the people he hangs out with lately, and living where he is.
He told me he's decided to clean up his act. He's moving not only out of the apartment he was in, but right out of the city, to a city an hour and a half away (closer to me! Yay!) He wants to avoid his old 'friends' because they have been supplying him with drugs, and stealing things from him, including money and his vehicle, which he got back, luckily. And other bad things keep happening, the longer he is involved with them. And just in general, he needs to start fresh, without the influence and temptation his old buddies offer him. He just called me at work, (which he has never done before). Just out of the blue....I never even said to him yet, that I want to see him clean up. He just called me out of the blue and told me this is what he decided. I can't believe he's decided to move right out of his town. That's something I am happy to see him do. I'm so amazed and happy!!!!!!!
He mentioned that he is thinking that the only way to go is to throw everything away and pick up the bible. Those were his words.
I know this is just the beginning though....it's not like things will be perfect right away. But this is remarkable in itself, and a definate sign that I must keep praying, and anyone else who is. It works.
He's an amazingly good guy. He quit smoking cold turkey a couple months ago, when I told him that it bothered me. I never told him the drugs were bothering me, at the time, because I was doing them to, and did not feel bad for it back then. But he did quite smoking. And he quit getting drunk on his own... so things are looking up, i really think he can do this, now, I think he's decided enough is enough, and he;s ready.
He is an amazingly generous, warm and kind person, to other people.... he just took all his pain and hurt himself more with it. But I think he's realizing that he's worth more than that, and that the only way he can ever feel truly happy and whole is a genuine new start, with the help of God.
I can't believe this....i really hope it's all looking up as much as it sounds...i really hope that he doesn't lose hope and fall back.
I love him to death, and want nothing more than to see him living a happy life. He told me he wants to begin coming to church with me. He called me up with all of this; I never even had the chance yet to get ahold of him about this, and tell him that it's time for him to make a decision because this is hurting the relationship...which is what I had decided I would have to do. He decided on his own! Which is exciting, because it means he's not doing it for me, he's doing it because he's come to realize that he needed to change directions. Doing it for me, alone, as willing as he might be, would never have him truly happy. This is much better.
I still continue to be amazed. Like i say....it's just the beginning. I just want to ask that anyone willing pray that he keeps his eyes in this direction and doesn't go back to living the way he was.
I'm sure there will be ups and downs. I'm somewhat ashamed of how hopeless I was feeling about the situation. I need to have more faith!!!!!! I haven't had happy tears like this for years!
Yikes. Excitement...
Thank GOD!!!!
P.S. HOW in the world do I change my font colour so you don't have to bust an eyeball reading this?????Somebody help, please!
