This disease tries to get me in all sorts of ways, just had me nearly spending £6.99 on a load of soul readings that I do not need, why would I need those when I’ve got the 12 steps and God in my life today, all I need to do is practice my program and not just talk the talk.

Talking the talk is all good and well but unless I actually practice…[Read more]

No more. No less. To do my best to keep my thinking in check. To pray often. To trust that God cares about me and wants me to succeed. To hold on and to not give up. To do for others what I can. To give God my weaknesses and my triggers. To grow humility and a deeper gratitude. To give God all the credit. To have a peace at the end…[Read more]
