Recovery from Addiction
Dear Friends,
Little did I know when we began True Vine Online that my work  here would be a big part of my recovery from alcoholism. Every day I speak with folks calling us to get filtered Internet service in response to either their own struggle or someone close. Usually, it is addiction to pornography that is the problem I hear on the phone. But to me it's a "meeting" because whether your drug is alcohol, cocaine, or nude pictures, the result is the same. Addiction robs you first of your spirituality, then your mental well being, and finally of your physical health. 

 In my case, although I had stopped drinking for nearly a year, it wasn't until I gave in, admitted I was helpless, dropped to my knees, and asked for help, that I finally began to be free of the obsession. Now, I'm happier with a few years worth of "one day at a time" behind me. Speaking with you, hearing of your faith, hearing of your struggles, is an important part of my day and in the tradition of Bill Wilson helps me to add one more day of sobriety. Thank you. I wish you well, and hope some of what we do at True Vine Online helps you.

"This taste of transcendence, coming as it does from an obsession with ... pornography ... has the same effect on our souls as crack cocaine."   The addiction "attaches itself to our desire [for God] with chains that render us captive." 

Addiction expert Gerald May calls addiction "the most powerful psychic enemy of humanity's desire for God."
