I love you big sis! You are an inspiration to everyone. You are a soldier. You are the essence of Pure Love. You've gone through the refiners fire to be the perfect instrument to help those that are going through similar struggles, past, present and future. Love (God) needed one of the most powerful images of him to reflex his image which is Love. As I sit here crying at my desk it brings me tears and feelings of PURE LOVE. I love you Holly! Carry on. I'm here with you to spread the message of LOVE. :)
I just sent this video to my daughter via text as she left the house to go with her "friend" to Baltimore. My oldest son & daughter are both having troubles. Both been through rehab multiple times. I just don't know what else to do.
Heartbreaking Kimmy! The only thing we can do is love, not by teaching it by expressing it daily to those we love most and that need it most. Addiction isn't the issue its the lack of love within and for those suffering it is understanding where that void is and how to come back to that state of love where we can fully express who we are without feeling judged or minimized. I read "A Return to Love" by Marianne Williamson that completely changed my outlook the world and why we are here. Meditation "Prayer", just listening not asking for anything clearing our minds that's when the pure essence of love will enlighten your mind on what you should do in your situation. We as humans aren't separate we are one. May you receive the answers you are seeking and may the love of the God which is LOVE be showered upon you.
Bowing down to absolute power is the greatest thing. Almost virtually giving up your life to higher power and letting go of the past mistakes. This is what recovery is all about.
Storm Williams - You too are an example of this subject topic, when we break down and realize we can't go it alone. Humility is when we extend our hand and ask God to take it and help us to recovery. He often works through others that come into our lives. Prayers for your success and a brilliant life ahead.
Storm Williams - Beautiful. Envision an important pursuit, that comes with a responsibility. The purpose you want to achieve, whereby the goal is more important than the sacrifice to attain it. Helps to keep our eyes focused on something bigger, meaningful, believable for us.
+Susan Diane Howell ..the goal is there but my sacrifice should match it sometimes I get weak and fall but I get back up and strive again . .I keep coming back to these videos for a top up. . it is truly amazing ..and thank you for your words they stick
@@stormydays4977 it's been a battle for me after 12-13 years of meetings. im on day #149 right now. one day at a time. when we go to meetings, work the steps, and get a sponsor, miracles happen.
I am SO hapy te church did these REAL stories! Watching these my heart hurt for these people but I could feel our Heavenly Fathers love for each of these people and I watched jut 2 videos! So may I just say hallelujah for our inspired church leaders!
I threw my life away I hid it so none could see Then, I tried to end it one day But suicide failed me After detox, I sought A safe place in which to cleanse All my character flaws That founded my addictive sins I prayed to Heavenly Father And I felt wrapped in His arms From this, I was able to gather Grace to stay safe from harm I knew I'd shortcomings And I would struggle each day But, I knew that everything Too, was going to be o.k.
Hi Mike, thanks for sharing your feedback. This video series features real stories from real people and can be intense, but we hope people struggling with addictions will see these videos and be inspired to change and turn their lives over to the Savior.

You are all hero's in my mind, may Heavenly Father continue to bless you is my prayer. I think Alma the younger is a mentor for us all, though he was a sinner indeed he mended his way. You can be a great advocate for the church in these the last days we need your help with the youth of the church as well as us adults. I also would question anyone who would say they will never fall.
Moral of the Story? Do Not Judge anyone by What YOU See.... Love Everyone Unconditonally cause you never know what is going on in their life even if you know the reason WHY you don't know their life Regardless of what You may think. what we need to worry on is loving them what god needs to worry about is Judging them....
Ilove how she's finding happiness. Then in the end she said "I don't walk around happy everyday. I walk around with peace.

I threw my life away
I hid it so none could see
Then, I tried to end it one day
But suicide failed me
After detox, I sought
A safe place in which to cleanse
All my character flaws
That founded my addictive sins
I prayed to Heavenly Father
And I felt wrapped in His arms
From this, I was able to gather
Grace to stay safe from harm
I knew I'd shortcomings
And I would struggle each day
But, I knew that everything
Too, was going to be o.k.
I love these videos. They help me so much in my recovery. I'm on step 7 this week. I love the 12 step program that the church provides.
