“A Message to Drug Addicts Only”
May 20, 2009
Dear Drug Addict:
It’s about time somebody told you the truth about your habit! You’ve been lying, cheating, stealing and working angles ever since you got hooked—now it’s time to stop and do some hard thinking for just ten minutes. If you like the stuff and just want to control your habit—THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU UNLESS YOU ARE DESPEARATE FOR HELP! Take a good look at yourself! You thought you were different—you thought you would never get hooked. You thought you would never have to mug or break in—you never thought you’d end up being a beggar just living from one fix to another. You don’t want to admit you were getting hooked but now you can’t fool yourself any longer. YOU’RE A JUNKIE—YOU’RE HOOKED—YOU’RE LOSING YOUR LIFE AND YOUR SOUL! If you like the kind of life you’re living—don’t read another word. I want to talk just to addicts who are sick of junk and who want to start a new life.
There is a lifetime cure for drug addiction! It doesn’t matter how long a run you have had—you can be cured. There are 5 steps to this cure:
- Admit you are hooked!
- Quit looking for an easy way out!
- Give yourself over to God
- Start planning your life all over again
- Shake off all your fears!
