For Drug Addiction

Perspective

“I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom.”

— Edgar Allan Poe

Prayer

God, I ask you to heal my body, my mind, my spirit, and my life today. Drugs are a part of my past; they are not part of my present. They are not part of my future. Today, I am clean.

I am becoming strong one second at a time, one thought at a time. I am learning how to live, and to be the best that I can be today. Today, I am clean.
