00:01 The following program discusses sensitive issues
00:03 related to addictive behavior. 00:05 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:06 may be too candid for younger children. 00:15 Well, when I talk to a group of kids like this, 00:18 I think about a lot of times that we look at addictions, 00:21 chemical and non-chemical as, you know, drugs, alcohol, 00:26 workaholism, sex stuff, all that kind of thing. 00:28 But some of us start with all of this dysfunction 00:31 from the time we were little. 00:33 And all of a sudden something works. 00:35 Whether it's our anger, whether it's drinking, 00:38 whether it's whatever, but we learn 00:40 really young that we have to cope. 00:42 And Cody talked about cutting and all that kinds of stuff. 00:45 And so I wanted to say is that for some of us 00:49 what kicks off our pleasure centers, 00:51 what kicks off or highjack's us is our sadness, 00:54 our abandonment issues, and our anger. 00:57 What I think is incredible is, God is bigger than all of that. 00:59 And recovery really encompasses all of that 01:03 and places like Miracles Meadows looks at that. 01:05 But if you don't have a place to look, 01:08 take it to God, surrender to God. 01:10 Say out loud as I'm tired of being sad, 01:12 I'm tired of being angry, 01:14 I'm tired of dealing with all this 01:15 and let Him help you. Join a group. 01:19 You don't have to be like this forever and with these kids 01:22 I'm so proud that they're not stuck in this stuff 01:24 and that they will find freedom and a life. 01:27 See you next week. 01:28 Always remember that God is crazy about you and me, too. 01:31 God bless. |
