00:14 Welcome back! So we are going to find out in this program,
00:17 in this whole season we are talking about maintenance. 00:21 We are talking about the 11th and 12th step of a 12 step 00:25 program, how do you, after you have done your inventories, 00:29 after you turn it over to God, you know that God is bigger 00:33 than your craziness, He can restore you to sanity and all 00:36 that stuff, you have looked at your stuff and say I can't 00:39 even do this, I'm going to hand it to God and after that, 00:42 how do you walk into a life without the drug? 00:46 Jeremy you were talking about this drug was your lover. 00:49 How do you say goodbye to that lover and actually have God 00:52 develop a life of you? 00:53 So I would like you to both speak on 00:55 how that looks for you at the close of this program. 00:58 When I first are going to church, I still to this day 01:02 haven't read the Bible in its entirety, bits and pieces 01:05 here and there, so I don't have a Scripture that 01:07 I miraculously just popped in my head. 01:10 I constantly have this little voice that I talk with God 01:13 when I am struggling, I will start talking to Him in my 01:16 head, I don't talk out loud because I'm afraid people 01:19 will think I am a little crazy. 01:20 Even though at times when I am alone, I do, do that, 01:23 actually cried out to Him, I have yelled at Him. 01:25 When I am struggling I have friends that I can call and say 01:29 I'm having rough time, they may pray with me or just talk 01:34 to me, or we may go have coffee, but that is about the 01:38 extent of what I do right now. 01:39 Like I said I'm still in recovery. 01:41 So you connect with community, pray to God even if it is 01:45 in your head, that small voice, the Holy Spirit comforts 01:49 you and calms you, and you connect with friends? 01:52 That is amazing, because most people disconnect and then 01:56 they get in trouble. 01:57 How about you Jeremy? 01:59 Well at first I know I had to get some research as 02:05 to what I needed to do, like a 12 step program. 02:07 I got myself into that and daily reading, it always helps 02:13 because it helps your thoughts. 02:16 I constantly pray throughout the day, I talk to God in my 02:20 head all the time. 02:21 Just finding people that are in a healthy stance, 02:30 a healthy relationship is really important. 02:35 Knowing your red flags is very important to know. 02:39 - so red flags, what are some a yours? 02:42 Bars yeah, bars are bad, bars are bad. 02:44 Me yelling, - yeah her yelling. 02:47 If you get on him and your yelling you get stressed. 02:51 For you if you allow that to continue too much, 02:53 that is a red flag. 02:54 If we don't sit down and process it, and talk about it, 02:58 yeah, it starts to build and then, yeah. 03:02 He can tell me now, we have been together off and on for 03:05 10 years and he can tell me now, sweetheart I'm starting 03:08 to shut down, so I know, okay I'm ragging now, 03:12 I need to back off a little bit. 03:14 It doesn't always work, but we recognize. 03:17 - you are trying to say it out loud, because red flags 03:20 are huge, if I am never going to use until all these things 03:24 happen first, so you are saying watch these things, 03:26 what ever they are. 03:27 Like whether you get an AA, whether you get too tired, 03:30 too hungry and all that stuff. 03:31 So next week we have to have you back, because I want to 03:33 hear all the healing stuff that God has done in your life. 03:36 I want you to come back next week because there's lots of 03:39 good stuff, that's exactly what God wants us to know. 03:42 He wants us out from underneath all that and it is too 03:44 cool, so come back next week and until then always remember 03:47 that God is crazy about you and me too. |
