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<br>long and sooner or later, we have to come down to<br>earth. Our re-entry can be painful, some do not<br>make it. We will need help. Coming to our senses is<br>easier than learning to act sensibly. Acquiring good<br>habits takes time and application. Will I ask for<br>help?<\/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-0d395216e2e1ddd478e9bcadc23eee75\"><strong>In the Bible, the prodigal son spends his inheritance<br>on dissipation and riotous living, then \u2018comes to<br>himself, realises his mistakes and returns home to<br>be welcomed by his father. 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<br>like the prodigal son in the Bible. Today I ask not to<br>forget that forgiveness puts a responsibility on me to do my best in return.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;Tiktok.com\/@recoverydays Remember Mindfulness \u2013 close eyes briefly Asking for help What is the point of reality, if you are not wanting tolive responsibly?
