Whether consciously or<br>unconsciously, this is the mindset of many addicted<br>people. When the real world is such a frightening<br>place, you might just as well be on the moon.<br>Unfortunately, the moon does not sustain life for long<br>and sooner or later, we have to come down to earth.<br>Our re-entry can be painful, some do not make it.<br>We will need help. Coming to our senses is easier<br>than learning to act sensibly. Acquiring good habits<br>takes time and application.

Coming to myself means<br>living according to my better nature after years of<br>not doing so. The tale of the prodigal son is a<br>wonderful example of the goodness of human<br>nature. If I am to receive forgiveness, I need to show<br>honesty, humility and willingness to change, just like<br>the prodigal son in the Bible. Today I ask not to forget<br>that forgiveness puts a responsibility on me to do<br>my best in return.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-cd2ba6f75203964684ba777874670854\"><strong><br>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@recoverydays?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=p View VIDEO on Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100094027278120 Asking for help What is the point of reality, if you are not wantingto live responsibly?
