I can feel some of your pain...I went thru being addicted to my own antiseizure medication, after my now ex husband beat me. I needed something to numb that pain. Adultery was easy-I lived thru it with my parents. But this was new-and it physically hurt-and was right after my first brain surgery! I kept popping them to the point where I almost lost my life-but that year was searching for Jesus-due to confusion, being lost-and nothing took the place of His love. You are so on the most brilliant track-and I applaud you for every step-and tell you-you aren't alone with that past-and you are loved by so many...He will keep guiding you. You will be tempted in the beginning-by Satan-not they we aren't today...but he knows that weakness that can rebound...so remain strong. I am blessed where it is a prescription drug-so when I came off of it-we just knew not to take it. Has to be prescribed...drinking is tougher-but through Him-all things are so possible...and with that strength He has given you...that faith...I applaud you...and look up to you. And wish I could get you to talk to my brother!! Perhaps if you haven't you should have some sort of faith group for it! Secondly...you came to Christ at 23...don't think that is old...I was 26...and He loves us just as much! My faith is strong still, with all illness issues. He is amazing! Just praise Him and love Him for the amazing ways He gets our attention-finally!! May Jesus keep you strong and focused on Him while His plans for you unfold! God bless you!<br>In His Love,<br>Hetty Siebens<br><a href="http://familyfromchrist.blogspot.com/2009/01/epilepsy-helped-bring-me-to-jesus.html" rel="nofollow">http://familyfromchrist.blogspot.com/2009/01/ep...</a>Hetty4ChristWed, 21 Jan 2009 20:50:27 -0000
