Welcome to the Recovery is a Process of Decisions Podcast. This is Trent Thomas, your recovery peer support specialist. This week's episode is entitled Recovery is a Revelation. Recovery reveals who you are. Recovery is a revelation of truth, your truth. Recovery is a writing of a wrong. For me, it involved a revealing of a lifetime of wrong decisions. My recovery revealed a lifetime of bad decisions with life-threatening consequences. The consequences I suffered for making one bad decision after another. This resulted in actions that shortened my life. These bad decisions sent me on a roadway of dismay, deceit, disrespect, and disillusionment. Being overcome with decisions of addiction. The addictive mindset placed me on a pathway of self-destruction, self-harm, and suicidal aspirations. In this addictive mental state, I gave away all the things I loved, my family, my employment, my possessions, everything I held dear was traded away. No one took anything away from me, but rather I traded it all away for a substance that instituted my early demise. God was my home, my happiness, my health, my family, my self-respect, my spirituality. God was my plug-in to the God of my understanding. Once unplugged, I became the puppet of ungodly forces. Deception and lies became my mainstay for life. My first and only practice was first to deceive and place my mission of acquiring more and more of the very substance that sought my premature death. Death by overdose is a function of the addictive mindset. The disease of addiction wants you dead, but it will settle for you living daily in a state of misery. Living in darkness is a highlight of this disease. Deception and lies are the home of darkness and no light. Truth is light. Truth is from God. God is light. The truth that comes from God lights up and diminishes the darkness of deception. Truth is the treatment for the disease of addiction. One person's truth propels the next person to speak their truth. Truth is contagious. Truth is repetitive. When the truth from the God in me touches the truth of God in you, you can't help but nod your head and tap your feet. You see, truth is emotional. Truth has a feeling. You can feel when someone is speaking the truth. Truth feels right because God is truth. Everything God does is truthful. God cannot lie. Truth emanates from God, and truth is sustained by God. Truth is forever and needs no supports. The truth is the truth, and that is all it will ever be. With truth as a foundation, any structure will not fall. Truth stands the test of time. You see, no lie can last forever, and the lie is a forever vanishing thing. The lie that is born in darkness will soon disappear and dissolve. A lie needs the support of another lie. No lie can stand alone. Anything built on a lie will shake, rattle, and fall. It will not stand. The truth stands on its own. No support needed. Recovery is a revelation of truth, your truth. A truth that begins with God and is sustained by the truth from God. The more God in your life focuses the more truth in who you are. Truth is the treatment for the disease of addiction. Truth replaces the lies and forces out the self-deception and moves in self-respect and self-determination. Truth replaces death with life. Truth replaces gloom with happiness. Guilt with the energy to survive. The prospect of death with the hope of life. Recovery is a revelation.
