The people closest to me were seeing a difference.There were a lot of questions and on my part a lot of lies.I was becoming someone they didn't like.Someone I didn't were still there. You never doubted me,but it came to the point where I as doubting myself. For many reasons,I began to rely on you more.You became a good friend,a friend that was there to console me,to feel good about life and myself. I enjoyed you when you were around,but didn't miss you when you were not.
To learn the TRUTH about Addiction, don’t believe this letter and attend our Addiction Counselor Training event on July 19-21 and August 2-4, 2012, at Briarwood Church in Birmingham, AL.You had always been a casual friend to me.More like an aquintance. I need Christ more than I need my thoughts! While there are some seemingly good things in this letter, a Christian rehab that is afraid to call the only true God by name (Jesus) and chooses to use HIGHER POWER is baffling to me! They take the “Christ” out of “Christian” and are simply left with “ian” and there’s too much “I” in “ian” for my liking. So you can bring it on and give it all you’ve got, because I am through with you, and I am no longer afraid. Notice the word POWER? He’s more powerful than you. You probably won’t leave me alone for the rest of my life. I know you don’t believe me and you’re probably not taking this seriously. But even though those good times, I was living out of FEAR, constantly being chased, and chasing the wrong things. Now I know we’ve had some good times in the past, sure. Our connection is based on LOVE instead of FEAR.
As a matter of fact, me and my HIGHER POWER now share a relationship that is exponentially better than the one you and me shared. Since our separation, I’ve come to terms with something I’d like to call my HIGHER POWER. Lucky for me, it turns out I don’t have to have you, believe it or not. So for obvious reasons I now consider our relationship a pretty sick and twisted one. You are a selfish creature, you want me all to yourself, causing me to push away and hurt all the people that love me, so in the end all I have is you. I’ve managed to take a look at our relationship from the outside in, and I realize that you’ve been abusing me, and taking advantage of me anytime you can. I’ve learned that you’ve been lying to me the whole time we’ve been together. I blamed my screw-ups on bad luck and other people. When I came to this program, I believed you. (NOTE: the person is blaming addiction for their arrest) I know you keep telling me it’s not your fault, but I know better now. I’ve been busy with some important things. As you read it, listen to the victim mentality and how this person fails to take personal responsibility (remember this is talking to Addiction): The letter is addressed to “Addiction” as though addiction is an entity outside of oneself – a disease. Here is a letter that was in the newsletter called, “Goodbye My Love” written by a successful graduate of this program. I stand amazed but wonder why I am when the Christian world continues to embrace the 12 Steps (and C.R.) when those steps clearly teach man-centered, humanistic teachings!
A goodbye letter to my addiction update#
In an update letter of a so-called Christian ministry that helps those struggling with addiction, I did not once see the name “Jesus Christ” in an 8 page newsletter! How can you tell me that Jesus could not be written once in a newsletter/promotional update letter that is 8 pages long!?!?!!?!
