Re: Addiction
Hi Dot!
One of my closest friends and christian mentor has been struggling with this same thing. We didn't know this until a recent encounter with her in the hospital when the doctors tried to 'drug' her for an angiogram and the even the maximum amount recommended to give her was not dulling the pain.
This is a very real thing that sneaks up on you. God can remove it in a heartbeat.
Our church found out about a program called "Celebrate Recovery"... and we are starting one up. Anyone with any type of addiction can to through this free program and they are all over the place. It is a support group. People with any form of addiction or codependency can come, join a group and have go through a program much like AA only its based on the Beattitudes.
I realize your not close to our church at all...but they are located in many different areas. I think you can go to the below link even and find out locations.
Does this sound good, a support group...or is it too farfeteched of a thought? Love, Libby
