We are given free will from the moment of our birth. The choices we make determines what path we travel on, bringing results of joy or sorrow, pleasure or pain. There have have been many roads in my life that have brought me to the present. My choices resulted in pain compared to a sharp edged razor cutting and tearing into my heart and soul, leaving a hole which I chose to fill with drugs.
They worked for awhile to cover the pain of the choices I made. The addiction carried me further down to depths of a bottomless pit. I felt "safe" in the cold darkness of my own making. My addiction progressed rapidly and left me feeling empty. I did not have the tools of honesty, hope and faith, nor the willingness to surrender and admit I was the problem and a sinner.
The false comfort I once experienced in the darkness of the pit of hell I had chosen was no longer available. The insanity of active addiction lifted and the choice became clear. Life or death, Darkness or light. I chose life. Today with the help of Wings of Hope I have been given a new life.
I have been shown how to have a relationship with God and been given the tools needed to make healthy choices. Thank you wings of Hope for giving me a second chance at life.
