I liked what it said about when we empty ourselves we need to fill up with something good...Its just not good to stop an addiction we need to replace it with something else. If we don't then it will just come back and just set up home again. But if we have filled that void with something else, then it wont be able to come back because there will be no space for it now.....
When I tried to stop drinking at first I was so focused on stopping that i didn't realise I had to replace it with something else. I struggled with it for ages, but then I started to read books and meditate on Gods word. I could see that I needed something or someone to fill that void. I found Jesus and since then I have been on a journey of discovery. Not always good but a lot better than it was when I was in that dark place without Him.
I heard Rick Warren say something the other day which I liked he said "I use to think of life like mountains and valleys but now i see it as railroad tracks good and bad at the same time."
I use to say my life was like a roller coaster with all its ups and downs. But now i know that it is the tracks that takes us on the ride that goes up and down. Now I can see that I needed to accept the bad with the good or I wasn't able to move forward.
Philippians 4:11-13 11.I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.1. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.13.I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
