Stop the Insanity!

Insanity has been defined as “doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time.”


Sanity has been defined as “wholeness of mind; making decisions based on the truth.”


Jesus is the only Higher Power who offers the truth, the power, the way, and the life.



When we get controlled by substances or behaviors of this world, we get so far from everything and everyone in life that it wraps us in a cloud. It isolates us from reality... that is the insanity of addiction. We get so trapped by it that no one can get through.



I know when I was a practicing addict, I would create many problems for myself and sometimes I would try praying and/or making deals with God?... Never worked, while I was high especially,

Was it me, or was it God that wasn't there?



When we get to a certain point in our addictions we isolate ourselves, Why?

I think the reasons are mainly guilt, shame, and embarrassment.

We know that what we are doing isn't right so we try and hide.

We addicts have nothing to be ashamed of, espicially not that we need help. I know when I came out and admitted who I was and what I struggled with openly? (see step 1)Thats when I started to heal. After some clean time I started hearing and feeling and seeing responses from God.

You can be assured that God is always there.

When we pray to God we have to be equipped to hear his answer. I think when we pray that part of being equipped is having a clear head. It does take time for our heads to start to clear.

For me it was about 3 months clean before that day that I really could hear The Lord responding to me. At that time I moved on to Step 3 and turned my life over to him completely. At that moment He completley took my desire away to use drugs!

But lets not get ahead of ourselves we are on step 2

Step 2: We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”. (Philippians 2:13)

Today I know Gods will for me.

Do You?
