Pastor Billy P
I remember admitting to myself that I just might have a drinking problem. I justified it and said “but I’ll never be a crackhead“. Drinking and partying was fun for me until 1989 bc (before crack). That’s when getting high became a full time job. Now I became that crackhead that I said I would never be. I then justified it by saying “at least I’m not a junkie, I’ll never stick a needle in my body”. In 1990, I became that junkie. I was so full of shame, embarrassment, guilt and pain. I didn’t want anyone to know what was really going on in my life. I started doing things I said I would never do and becoming everything I said I would never become. Nobody is excluded from the devastating progressive disease of addiction. So glad I don’t have to live like that anymore. So glad that God showed me a way out through the 12 step program.

You can't keep something your not willing to give away.
In 1935, 12 steps were set into place for us to give away what we have.
Giving Back
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” Proverbs 19:17
