Oh Carleeta, That when I had to change my life around to be christian again by asking God to give me another chance in life to be real to him ,because I have to realize the life that I had in drugs and alcohol was abusing me physical,emotional and spiritual . So I had to repent my sin and give my life to God . Thank you for posts this wonderful devoitonal here and God bless you. Addison
