A tug of war…..

Watching someone you love, that has fought so hard to reverse their substance use disorder, throw everything away and sink back into a life that will most likely lead to loss of everything, jail or worse, death, is one of the hardest things you will ever do. Devastating, overwhelming, paralyzing.

You want to help them, guide them. You know this is totally out of your control.

You want to grab and shake them and say "What are you doing?!?!" But, at some point you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. You are dealing with the disease, not your loved one solely. You are dealing with the person that morphed into this fear-driven individual solely dependent on this brain hacker, rash decision maker, seemingly uncaring individual. Who can no longer comprehend, common sense flew under the dark origins of their hacked brain.

So you sit back and watch this unsavory tragedy unfold, again, as if you are watching a movie. Yelling at the screen. Holding onto hope, that this horror film will some how have that happy ending.

Loving this individual is not the hard part. The hard part is not walking away, kicking them to the curb. No, the hard part is staying, and keeping them in your life. It's like being on a team but yet you are sidelined and your input is not wanted. Even tho they know your advice is good, their playbook says differently. That instant reward-feeding dopamine tells them you must be wrong.

It's a tug of war! Between the individual and the substance.
Between the individual and their loved ones. A tug of war!!! On their side is doom. On our side is hope. In the middle is remission, recovery, and rebirth!

A beautiful read,😢
I went to the pharmacy the other day to get a prescription filled. While I was standing outside waiting for them to fill it a young man come walking by. He looked up at me nodded his head and said hi. I nodded back and said “Hey, how's it going”. He said “I would be lying to you if I told you good, I have to go in here and get my Suboxone and the minute you say that everybody looks at you like you're scum of the Earth”. Now he didn't look scary or strung out like the addicts they show on TV but he did look defeated. A few minutes later I went back in and sat down in a chair and was waiting when I heard him talking to the pharmacist. He said “I'm trying to get my life straightened out. I've made a few bad decisions but I'm trying”. The pharmacist is being very professional he never took his eyes off the computer while he was asking questions not once did he change facial expressions or tone of voice but I noticed other people looking at him as if he was a l***r. He said again “I'm really not a bad person I just made some mistakes”. Then to my surprise he looked down at his feet and in a half mumble said “My Momma loves me”. At that moment I didn't see a struggling addict I saw a child that was hurt and scared and felt all alone. A child reaching his arms out for someone to pick him up and make it all better. That image was so clear In my mind that it broke my heart.
The pharmacist told him what the cost was and another disappointed look came over the young man's face. Again I saw a child that just found out he had been left behind. He said “I'm sorry I thought it would only be five or six dollars I don't have that much”. I stepped up behind him and said “I’ll cover the rest of it”. He turned around with a shocked look on his face and I repeated “I'll cover the rest” he said “No man you don't have to do that”. I looked at the pharmacist and said I'll cover the rest of it. The young man looked at me but had no words I said “You don't have to say anything just take care of yourself”. I placed the money in his hand and walked back over and sat down. It didn't take long for somebody to make their way over to me and say "You shouldn't give them money you better go get it back." I replied “That's between me and him and what he does with it is between him and God”.
I didn't tell you this because I done something special the money wasn't that much. I'm telling you this because for the first time I realized how judgmental we all are. All of us live in a neighborhood full of drug addicts. But for the first time I realized that they're a victim of a bad decision. How many of us have made bad decisions. How many of us thought that we could make that big car payment, we could afford that big beautiful house, that we could gamble just this once. How many people thought they could watch a little p**n. These too are all bad decisions and they can have devastating effects on our lives and the lives of those close to you. Do I look at all these people the same way I do an addict. Here lately I've seen a lot of that little kid in all the faces I see. What a wake up call.

If someone is trying to do better, if they're doing the right things we need to build them up not tear them down. NONE of us have clean hands when it comes to making bad choices, some choices are just more complex than others....

Genesis:24:15 And it came to pass, BEFORE HE HAD DONE SPEAKING, that, behold, Rebekah came out....

REFLECTION
Here we see the servant of Abraham praying to God while he was on a journey to do something that Abraham probably prayed about since his son Issac was born and that God already ordained.. He was on a journey to Abraham's homeland to "find Issac a wife"... But in reality he was only going to get the one God had already chosen. Why do we pray? So that God can figure out what He is doing or so that we can figure out and accept God's will? There are many times, as in this case, that God has already predestined and established before we figure it all out! The servant was hesitant to take the journey because he was nervous about finding the right woman for Issac and he didn't think that anyone would just come with him... Let alone that the woman's family would let her go without a problem.. Nevertheless, while he is here giving God specific request for conformations, God sends her out before he even finishes his prayer and she does exactly as he is requesting. When he greets and request the family (mom, brother, dad, and even her herself) they all agree with no problem. Why? Its already been set in order! You see God goes before us! Its not Him catching up with us, but rather us receiving insight and direction from Him when we pray concerning His good will! Don't worry, God is in control. Ask, seek and knock and walk! Our God will point us in the right direction and open up all the doors. Amen!

Vs. 48: "And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son".

Dear heavenly Father, we thank you for your goodness and faithfulness. Open our eyes to see and our ears to hear. Let us trust & seek you always, for we know you have plans for good and not for evil. That you are in control. Thank you! In Jesus name we pray, amen!
