Every single setback, mistake, failure and relapse hit me hard
They would paralyze me; I can suddenly lose all the energy and will to carry on
I feel like ending it all
My situation was not new, I had the same problem every time for more than 20 years
I would get depressed; I would hit rock bottom each time
I am better trained, skilled and experience to face the problem now
The picture is very clear for me; it is a lifelong battle.
Past success in recovery does not guarantee my future recovery
Recovery only works for me if I work it
Once I let my guard down, I will get defeated without fail.
This phrase is commonly heard in 12 steps meetings, “half measures availed us nothing.”
When it comes to recovery, a half-hearted attempt could have disastrous results.
Revelation 2:4-5
4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.
5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.
