After several years of struggling with Sex Addiction and Alcoholism I made a conscious decision that I was going to do whatever it took to better manage my life. This blog documents that story.
I realized half measures availed me nothing – I would go to all lengths necessary to stop my addictions. The start was to rewrite 1 psalm every day – and if I relapsed I would start over from Psalm 1. I would keep going until I got through all 150 psalms. The purpose of this was two fold. First, this would provide a focus so that I would not need to think about my addiction - almost a distraction. Second, my thought process continued, going through at least 150 days of unique and intense should change my life. If it didn't I must be missing something - so if I did relapse in my addiction, I probably needed to start over anyway.
This work in psalms was not done alone in isolation. I doubt if it was it would have been as effective as it was. Although it was a big part of my recovery, it was supplemented with a lot of reading, the 12 steps, and a lot of recovery exercises - many of which that I discuss as I review each psalm.
I hope that my story can provide hope that recovery from addiction is possible. That no situation is too dire – you will be amazed with the progress before you are half way through. If you have any questions do not hesitate to send me an email.
Although I highly recommend using the 12 steps as a process for addiction recovery this blog is in no way affiliated with any addiction recovery group or their governing bodies.
