It's been an emotional day today. I came across a post on Facebook about overdose awareness & immediately thought of a dear long-time friend that I lost to an overdose a few years ago and cried because I miss him so. Then later on my way home, I arrived at my 3rd bus stop and witnessed a drug deal. Not for a second did relapse ever cross my mind. I kind of preached to both dealer/addict about how sad it was to have witnessed this deal go down, how much it broke my heart & I told them I would pray for them. That they would one day find the courage/strength to walk away from that life & soften their hearts to let God help them heal from it. It broke my heart to see this happening right before my eyes. I went home & sobbed for probably close to two hours. I had to talk to someone who would understand. I made I few phone calls & finally got a hold of a friend who (though she was at work) answered my call & I will be forever grateful that she did. I am grateful beyond words that God has completely removed the desire to ever use again from me & that I had the strength 
to have it right there in my face & not for a second consider relapsing. Recovery IS possible! If you're struggling reach out for help, PLEASE! God loves you & so do I. You don't have to do it alone.
