Freedom from Addiction.

I wanted to write a book that could help bring freedom to those struggling with addiction. Addiction is a spiritual disease that causes devastation to the user and those who come in contact with the addict. Many young men and women are walking blindly to their graves. We all have a purpose in life and addiction is the destroyer of dreams. Addiction takes the lives of many of our young prospects each year. It destroys more homes than anything else. Addiction leads to a life of misery and it brings suffering to those involved. Family members watch as their children lose their battle with addiction every day. It has touched my life in more ways than one. I want to tell my story. My story is a story of a son that walked away from his father and returned home a victor. I decided that I was going to keep the book simple. It would take a life time for me to present all that I have learned about myself in my spiritual journey toward freedom. This book is not the end but a beginning. This book is the beginning of self-discovery. The road to recovery is long and full of hills and valleys. Growing toward the likeness of my creator and being set free from addiction has been a most joyous journey. I touch on fear and the negative consequences of not being able to deal with it effectively. I focus on building self-worth because those who don’t feel good about themselves have no reason to fight. I focus on anger and resentment because these two areas have caused more people to fail and relapse. I focus on building a good support system. I focus on selfishness and how a selfless life brings freedom. I focus on forgiveness because nothing brings us closer to peace and serenity than letting go of resentments. I discuss peace because without peace this book would have never been written. I ultimately focus on the author of this book Jesus Christ. I believe that the Lord wanted me to write this book. I believe in a loving God who is tired of seeing his children suffer and die. I have found freedom and true peace in the loving arms of my creator. I wrote the book from my perspective in the hopes that others could relate to me and find the same power that I did. I give my opinion on why someone would want to quit using drugs and alcohol. I believe that this book will change lives. I work as a substance abuse counselor and I feel like it is my mission in life to help those who are suffering to find their way out. God wants his children to be free and have life more abundantly. What is your purpose here on earth? Freedom from addiction is attainable. Living a life of peace and purpose is wonderful.
