All about addictions, those nasty behaviors.

Lacy's Journey enters into a world where God is in control and your only job is to trust in Him. Easier said than done, I know. If you have ever struggled with an addiction than you know the mental torment and the driving force behind it. God says if you will trust in Him, give the addiction over to Him, He will set you free. God will remove the obsession from you so you no longer desire the thing you crave. Whether you are controlled by alcohol, cigarettes, food, relationships or some other addictive behavior, God can and will deliver you.
Insatiable cravings are hard to ignore and harder to resist. And what about feelings of anger, rage, fear, guilt and shame. Do you not turn towards the substance you have grown to love and trust to quench the pain of these awful feelings? Do you not run to food or alcohol to drown out this pain, to make it go away? Is your life so difficult you must seek to escape from your reality through food, drugs, or even a relationship? Addicts use anything that might relieve their discomfort. They seek a quick fix, a place of secret euphoria where uncomfortable feelings are not allowed to exist.
Lacy's Journey, One addicts road to recovery, was written as a quide to help anyone who suffers. If you are addicted or you know someone who is, you will find comfort and guidance in the pages of this journal.
Now for those of you who aren't sure if you are addicted. Have you ever been in a blackout and woke up the next morning with no recollection of the night before? Have you ever ate a whole gallon of ice cream and when it was gone looked for something else to eat? Have you met a guy or gal in a bar and wondered why you weren't living together by the second week? What about the bottle of codeine for the toothache. Was the prescription gone days before they should have been and were you calling the doctor for more telling him the pills were lost or stolen? These might be signs pointing to a potential addiction. These behaviors are good indicators that their might be something else wrong.
Have you ever thought about the damage done to those around you? Have you ever taken into consideration the damaging effects your drunken episode might have had on someone else? Maybe a child? You wake up thinking the night was so innocent because you don't remember what you did but did you ever stop to think, they can? The kids do remember what you did and will for the rest of their lives. And we wonder what is wrong with the children.
Maybe your addiction doesn't seem so devastating because it doesn't qualify as a narcotic or a substance that impairs perception. Do you think the family is any less effected by that behavior?
Don't underestimate the power of addiction and their harmful effects on those you love. Don't ever fall under the deception that your addiction isn't hurting anybody, it hurts everyone around you.
Take some time and read my story. It is my hope that you to will overcome every addiction just as I have. It is my prayer that you to will find the life of peace and serenity I have grown to love. It is my strongest desire that you to can escape the mental torment and driving force behind all addictions so nothing will ever master and control you again.
