I see you are from Lancaster. How neat. I have never been there, but being that it is in California, Im sure its nice. I need to get out more.

PRAISE GOD!!!!! I have read more about you, and , PRAISE GOD!!!!
Coming out of that past, and addiction, and walking with the Lord is a BIG step and a absolute blessing too! I was not a drug addict, but drugs are not the only addiction out there. I was addicted to many things, however, I never did drugs. I saw what drugs did top those around me, but I had my own drug of choice. I gave myself ove rto the Lord in 2002 when I was practically on my death bed. I am 5'8 and at that time I weighed 86 lbs. I was an anorexic and a bulimic. I was addicted to excersize, diet pills and , men. I was lost, and lost all my family, and relationships. I lost a good job and good pay. I lost it and almost died. I had no one, and no reason. But God loved me enough to scrape me off the pavement. I am an recovering anorexic and will always be. I guess you can say I am 6 years sober?
Anyway, my brother n law is 15 years sober, went to school in drug and alcohol counseling, and now landed a good job with the greatest clientele. He is an amazing man, and has been there and done that. I love chatting with him. He even helps me sometimes when Im having a bad day. He isnt a christian, but I can tell he is searching.
I hope i didnt bore you, but I got excited when I read about you. I know the hardship of addiction, and yet I know the passion for helping people. Lets help the dying world out there ok? God Bless you my friend!!!

How are you today? I pray all is well.
Thak you soo very much for your message. 12 hours! Wow! Last time I pulled something like that was when I was going to college full time,and working at a paint and decorating store full time. I loved it, but if I think of doing that now, just the thought of it wears me out! So thank the Lord that you have the strength every morning to get up and help all these people get off drugs and alcohol. I also have my two little ones, that pretty much wipe me out as well.
My brother n law is a counselor and he loves helping hic lients. Some really turn thier lives around then some relapse and end up in jail. He just does the best he can. Its great to talk with him about it, because I used to have my many addictions and he used to be an alcoholic. hes been sober for 20 r
years. What is cool is that even though he is mormon, he comes to me and wants to borrow Christian books,tapes,and Cd's to help his clients. I love to share them with him because the books are filled with love and wisdom from Christ and ways to overcome the world and its addictions. If youd like, I can give you the name and the author for youto check these out. Maybe they'll help you.
Well, I better go, its early in the morning and I cant live without my coffee. i guess you could say I was "addicted"?
God Bless you
