Sometimes when I look at my life it causes me a great deal of grief to
see/acknowledge how much of it I allowed addiction to steal from me...
I rejected God and walked in rebellion and open defiance for many years.
I understand very well how sin took hold of me and would not let go.
So (oops, this is on people's pet peeves' lists) when people talk about
the cunning enemy of life in the 12 step programs, it is so easy for me
as a Christian now to translate that into an understanding of the power
of Satan, and how he/it drives people to do such regrettable things.
It would fill me with much despair if I could not believe that God
has some greater plan for me. Whatever comes of me and however
I can use my experiences to help others, all glory goes to God.
Truly I know and accept that without Him, I can do nothing good.
