"Motivation is what gets you to start, and habit is what keeps you going."
– Jim Ryun
These words summarize the path I've taken to healing from my addictions: alcohol, promiscuity, and living a generally hedonistic lifestyle.
I remember what first led me to my addictions–pain, boredom, sometimes just an empty feeling that brings you to a place of wanting to seek out any type of stimulation. Wanting a distraction from whatever you're feeling.
The reality is after you've attained that high, the drop to reality often leaves you feeling worse than before.
Learning to draw strength from God is what eventually led me to overcome my addictions. In my strength, I couldn't find lasting freedom from any of the troubles that tormented me.
Co-dependent relationships always crashed and burned. Counseling and Psychiatric medication did little to provide real healing.
I remembered reading what the Bible says about healing, peace, forgiveness, and I decided to take that first step of faith by believing God would do what His word says He will do.
These are some of the steps I took to become free from the power of sin...
