26 day writing challenge- day 14 'Light'

 Write about a time you felt in the dark and what helped you through. 

I was stuck in the darkness of my addiction for so long.  It took a couple of low points, a husband who never gave up on me, a move to another state,  a christian based 12 step program (celebrate recovery) to help me through into the light.  God used all of this in His grace and mercy to save me.  He also saved me from a couple of close calls from the consequences of my behaviors.  It could have been worse.  But I don't have to live in the dark anymore and  love to help others who are stuck in the darkness. 

I was like  Max in Stranger Things when she was under Vecna's spell in the upside down and she could see the way out in the distance.  That was me sometimes slowly walking to the light, but in the end running toward that light as I can hear the music of God's voice of truth and encouragement.
