I lost my job yesterday

I got drunk immediately. Ive been clean from drugs for 18 months, and during that 18 months I've relapsed on alcohol several times. Yesterday was one of them. I worked in a law office, for one full year, six months into recovery after being a heroin and meth addicted :syringe: user for a decade. Being rejected by a group of women who I thought had something I wanted in life hurt but I'm grateful to know today that God has a plan. Everything is part of that plan in some way.

God does have a plan even though we can't see it sometimes. As long as we keep surrendering and letting God run our lives it will all work out.

do you believe in destiny them ??

do you believe in destiny?? so it was “Gods plan” to let rape, mass shootings, and children to suffer ..?

I'm not God and I don't know why rape and mass shootings happen. I do know that when I stop trying to run things my life gets better. I pray, meditate, do my awakening and remind myself that I'm powerless, no human power can fix me, and ask for God's help......then I get in the shower and start my day.

Whatever happens after that isn't my plan anymore. I can't control things or anyone else's actions. I just have tools to better cope with whatever is put in front of me.

God has a plan, knowing right we’re your supposed to be. The important thing is you came back relapsed. You stepped up and your were truthful. Best wishes.

Peoples “free will effects” God’s plan for our destiny. God’s plan is to love thy neighbor as thy self….

notice you said when “I” stop co telling things… I.
When you stop listening to the Ego which is the “I”.
I want a cig, I need another, I want, I need….
We are all referring to the same entity… you call it “God” and someone else might call it the universe, higher power.
When we trust in the universe things will get better.

Hey Steve, I'm doing okay now thanks for asking, I only messed up that day I still have a bottle hidden in my hiding spot but I don't think I'm going to drink it, when my son's father gets here I'm going to ask him to help me dump it out so I don't drink it I haven't used I haven't drink since Friday all I've been doing is crying can't really get out of bed but this is all for a reason I just don't know what it is. I appreciate you asking and for everybody's support this app has really been a game changer

Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate your support and going up to bat with the agnostic viewpoint on all the why's this why's, that stuff happens, none of us are to know. HIS ways are higher than our way, HIS thoughts higher than our thoughts. I appreciate all of the care and support from all of you my brothers and sisters in recovery and those of you who are children of God, may he bless you and always show you favor, for those who deny the Father, or do not know HIM or HIS love, I'll pray that you find him, sooner than later. :pray:

The man is here, time to dump my stash. Even a year and a half later the urge to drink one and hide the other and save it for later when I'm alone and can drink and cry is still almost instinctive. Breaking habits and demolishing old patterns is hard, y'all. Thanks for everything guys. This week is going to be hard but with all my people, I'll get through it. You are all my people! Thank you so much for caring :heart:
