None Left

[MajestyJo]

My first thought when I saw the title was, "I was spiritually bankrupt" when I came into recovery. I had played my ace in the whole, not recognizing that I had the wrong suit, and the Ace I needed was a connection to my God.

There was no recourse, but to get clean and sober. To not do so, meant that I was rejecting God and choosing to die. I didn't know He had a purpose for me. I felt like so many people qualified much better than I did and was reinforced when I heard things like, "I spilled more than you drank." It isn't about what I used, it is about the thinking behind the drinking and drugging, and for that I need my God to cleanse me and make me whole. There was no me left, I was very fragmented, empty, and sick and tired of being tired and sick. I can still find myself going there in today, so I know what the solution is today, as the song says, "A little time with Jesus makes it right."

Learned this song many, many years ago.
