It took much for me to pray but I was that desperate and for just a moment considered taking my life as this is no way to live. I wonder if a higher power heard my prayers. I want to believe that. It is a lonely existence without a belief and faith in something.


Even with opioid pain meds deal with 24/7 pain. Along with other issues; the burning ankles and feet and leg pain makes walking difficult.

AA really helps people to believe in a "higher power". Although my daughter's choice of drugs was Cocaine; she prefers going to the AA meetings. She continues to go even tho her sobriety has been years. She feels you can never hear the message often enough; especially when she has her "moments", she knows she better get to some meetings.

Thankfully, my faith is very helpful to get me thru each day. I have a little magnet on my frig; it reads "Before you go to sleep, Give your problems to God....He is up all night anyway. Another magnet reads "God is never more than a prayer away.

BTW: Those magnets were given to me by my daughter.
