"One feels that something more than human power is needed to produce the essential psychic change (needed for an addict to change his/her life)." Quoted from the big book of alcoholics anonymous.

I am about to share with you why this sentence is true and how my psychic change came about from a power that is greater than human. This life changing experience means more to me than any words can ever describe. This event didn't happen today but I'm deciding to share it today because i was reading the book and came across the sentence above and was compelled to share with you my experience.

I think that God has been trying to talk to me my whole life but un till recently I wasn't listening. When I was in Laredo (feeling really desperate about my situation) God spoke to me through another human being. This person, who was a complete stranger, said something to the extent of "Why are you living like this? You are better than this and deserve better for yourself. You can get help."

I may not have realized it was God talking to me right then, but when the time came, I did realize it. God wanted me to know that i am a good and wonderful person and that I couldn't be that person if I was doing drugs or living how I was living. He wanted me to learn to love myself because I am worth it and I am beautiful on the INSIDE and out.
