I am asking for everyone's prayers today. I have two very dear friends that are having issues. They both are in the program. I found a possible indication of both them possibly using. And, I am concerned about them. They both have 2 boys a piece and I just would like for all of us to send up a little prayer. That God will return them to their higher self.
I know in this program you will find you can not make anyone stay. Just, be there if and when they return. Or pray for them that they will remain strong in their recovery. One of them said he does not understand how I can love him the way I do. I love everyone it really does not matter who what or where they are in life. I learned that once you find love for yourself you can love and care for anyone no matter what. Love is all we have in and out of this program. love is what created this world. However, fear and illusions that we create destroy it. Of course, that is my option. When all you are use to is to hide behide something or someone. When you are afraid to face what is in front of you. We fool ourselves into thinking we are nothing we have nothing and we will never be anything.
You know for me God does not make mistakes. He gives us lessons. It matters not whether we are willing to accept them right away. He will put us in the same situations with different people until we learn who and what we are to be. Today, I am so grateful to wake up clean and sober. However, my heart is sadden by the choices my loved ones have made. I know I can not change them. That is God's job. I know I can not make them want to be apart of the fellowship. All, I can do is to pray for God's will to be done. And, that is what I am asking for today. Prayers for two of the most important people in my life and for their family. I thank all you for that. May we all through our Higher Powers remain sober and clean for today. God Bless all of you

Thank you so much for sharing what is in your heart with me, Melissa. These truths that you shared touched my heart, and I could not agree with you more on these things...
So glad we have you here with us at MIP.
May your two friends fulfil their destiny!
I will have them in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

I think getting clean takes alot of courage we're up against a monster thats clung to our backs dragging us around like puppets, but we can and do find the strength and power to overcome this monster and take our lives back, in Gods time , once the course has been ran , for whatever reason we are dragged down so far and sometimes to the bottom of a hole, thats the saddest part .
Others prayers get and got some of us here I believe so my prayers go out to your friends this day, God bless them addicts it's a tough road to be on and tought to get off of it sometimes.
