My daughter and I often revisit each of our former and very done addictions to prescription drugs. My daughter’s was for five years and it was due to a very unethical doctor who was selling Actiq from her office. My Rx addiction had to do with my own dark past from age 11, along with another unethical doctor who took full advantage of what he learned about me. That’s all for another time. Neither my child nor myself ever look back with desire for drugs…just with reflection on how blessed we both are to be alive when we really should have died. Praise God we’re here and living productive and fruitful lives.
As we were speaking last night, my wise ‘kid’ said only 3 little words that were so very profound and meaningful. She said,
“Remember to Forget”.
So, I have decided to forget the pain of what happened to me but about those ‘reflections’ – they are amazingly beautiful and fuel me each day to continue the work that God began in me 5 years ago when He saved my life from a massive accidental overdose from a lethal cocktail given to me by my trusted(?) doctor. So, I would want to tweak those three words to add, “Don’t Forget to Remember”…meaning that I always want the lessons that I painfully learned from my former addiction to stay in a prominent place in my consciousness. I will never ever stop helping those in the darkness of addiction. I will never stop telling people stuck in the bondage of addiction that their lives can be free and they can move forward into the purpose for which God created them. Yes, we all have a Divine Purpose and addiction has a permanent end. Yes, even YOU who are reading this…YOU, my friend have a special purpose that n
o one else has…YOUR life matters! If you need help, click here. Money doesn’t matter and isn’t a stumbling block to getting help that you need. Life is amazing once you “wake up” from your addiction and begin to flower and feel what being is all about.
Much Love,
Dina
