3/5/2022 For me these last couple of weeks have been a bad time. Almost all of my life I have struggled with addictions. During the worst times I gave up and gave in. The struggles with booze and smoking have reduced but I still struggle very much with food and pornography. When you begin to struggle and slip a short way out of the addictions you are overwhelmed by a sense of revulsion and despair. Seeing who you are and what you are capable of can devastate you back into the addiction. But try to remember as long as you struggle the addiction is what you do and not what you are. Hope and grace only end when you no longer want to struggle.

This is a combination of my Hope and Grace Journals.
