Wow! God bless you! This was definitely for me! Continuing to remind me that we are never alone! I relapsed with alcohol!! By the Grace of God I now have 16 months sober again! I praise you Jesus!! I struggled with accepting that alcohol is a drug! I thought I could drink “normally” again. I also used the Bible as an excuse, using some of the verses about Jesus turning water into wine to make it ok to drink alcohol.
17:18- Yeah, this was the first time I didn’t go straight to isolation! But since no one had time for me and I keep getting blown off by EVERYONE I was forced into isolation!!! And since no matter how hard and how long I’ve tried, I’ve never heard from God! At least not since I’ve been trying to be saved again and not in the last 3 or 4 attempts!!!
Thank you John I relapsed today so I typed it in and you video came up.. I love celebrate Recovery and the more i work it thr more God works in me.. thanks for all that you do Joe the Baptist
Hello, My name is Deborah. I'm from Arkansas. I am new to this channel. I have 4 years Clean and Sober 3 1/2 years from Meth. 4 1/2 from Alcohol & Cocaine. I have relapsed . 4 1/2 years ago. I am a grateful follower of Jesus Christ.
28:13- Yeah, I’ve done that! I’ve believed in it when I did…… the first thousands of times!!! Not anymore! I won’t say thanks for something that I never received! Because I’ve tried that so many times and it has never came true!!! And I was never saved from those things I was afraid of! And I suffered for most of them! And that’s just another reason why I’m so far gone!!!
The phone is an addiction. It is dopamine hits to our brain like any addictive drug! Stepping away from our phones and it's craving temptation to look at messages, play games, or any other activity needs to be crushed. Be strong, be willing to protect yourself from harmful behaviors, and leave your electronics outside of the bedroom. Give yourself several days to not be focused on your phone, stay active, keep moving in productive activities. You will break free. Celebrate your strength, self discipline, and your GOD given Healthy Boundaries! 💌
1:23- I know this is a old video but the 6th of December should have been my 4 years clean off of pain meds!!! “SHOULD…..HAVE!!! I didn’t do pain meds per say….. but hard drugs (not pot)! But I’m not really ashamed….. I’m angry! I’m very angry!!! I’ve fallen back into the “I have no hope and want life to end” hole again since February of this year (today is 11-24-23) and I didn’t relapse until September! And when I was at chip night the first Monday of the month this month I just got so angry about falling again, about failing again and just life in general………. I did it again last weekend! Now I don’t think I will ever do chip night again!!! 😔
The terms of 'meditation' and 'higher power' were used when I was in New Age and it could be anything, a tree, rabbits foot,..etc. I prefer to claim JESUS because there is no question. Anything else is dangerous by bringing things that are not of GOD into JESUS' Truth. Scripture says that this kind of deception will creep into True faith by distorting the message of GOD, but we don't have to participate in its descent by deceit. Just sayin'....
38:37- It’s kinda funny that you’re using one of the “made up” stories to try to prove a point!?! Yeah, made up! Didn’t happen!!! Someone made it up to prove a point! The reason I remember this is because that story hit me hard. And when I looked deeper into it I realized that someone (I can’t remember who, because that wasn’t the point) made it up to give a example to someone else! But all I felt after finding that out was anger!!! Once again, the Bible itself gives people reason to not believe any of it!!! I love God and I believe in him but when EVERYONE says you can’t trust anyone’s memory and anything and that you can’t trust anyone that is untrustworthy but then turn around and try to act like that doesn’t also apply to those who wrote the Bible all I hear is hypocrites!!! And stop acting like no one ever got a bunch of people together to make a book or whatever filled with lies before to make it looked more real because so many people all agreed! I could argue away each point that anyone could make (that I already know about) but that would take forever and it’s clearly a waste of time anyways!!!
Thank you for all the lessons. They are great

Hi Jonnny
The truth is difficult to accept.
JESUS meditated on scripture, HE 'knew' scripture? I thought HE was scripture, HE is The WORD! So confusing!
