Getting better

Getting better means:

  • You stop the excuses.
  • You take responsiblity for the damage your addiction has done.
  • You take action to repair the damage.
  • You make use of a support network such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
You change your “What’s in it for me?” attitude. You look for the good in others and praise them.

You likely had to drop some friends. After taking an honest look at your life, you've asked yourself, "Is this where I want to be?"

You've learned to avoid the people and places that were part of your addictive behavior. You plan each day in advance so you don’t drift into dangerous situations out of boredom.

You are making a real effort to have Jesus Christ in your life.

Those who have experienced an emptiness in their lives now realize that Jesus Christ can fill this emptiness. All that is needed is to search for Jesus in Quiet Time and allow Him into your life.

Live life... one day at a time...

"The only defeat in life is to abandon the struggle." (James Alberione)
