I Like his perspective. To have the best chance of success against an addiction is to truly believe we can change. I believe that I can change. I also know that I have to rely on God in me, to make that change. I don’t personally have the willpower to fight my addiction. I have to give it over, recognizing that God has the power that I lack.
I have read and reread the 12 step approach and “higher power” for me is God and that is why I am typing His name here. I didn’t choose to beecome addicted to gambling, but once I realized I was addicted, everytime I have gambled since then has been a conciuos choice for me. Feeling compelled is no real excuse.
I just love your posts, sorry I highjacked your thread. You really are something special. Thank You!,
