    ALL WE CAN IS TRY

    Mary Anne was such a beautiful person and had so much going for her. She had so many friends who loved her. Why did she not reach out to one of us? Why did she not share her pain and let us help her? This is so sad. She seemed so excited and experienced so much joy on her trip to Africa! WHY? If only she had been honest about her feelings and her pain and let someone help her. I pray for her family and all of us who loved her dearly. You are already missed so much, my dear friend. I hate you did not know how much you were loved. I hope you are in Jesus' loving arms now and the pain is gone.
    I'm not what I should be, I'm not what I could be. I'm definetly not who I want to be,
    but I'm sure not who I used to be!

    There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.

      ALL WE CAN IS TRY

      This is a good time to reflect. Reflect on our own lives and our relationship to alcohol and/or drugs. What do we each need to do to rid ourselves of the grip of addiction and the insanity and destruction that it brings along with it. Love does not cure addiction. If only it did!

      Maryanne has been in the grips of addiction for a very long time. Why did she not reach out.....Alcohol robs us of our core selves, it robs us of rational thinking, it robs us of our hope and our reason. Alcohol drives many of us to the depths of despair. MA did not choose to end her life because of what anyone did or did not do, here or elsewhere. Just weeks ago, Maryanne was given a true miracle, the miracle of a second chance. She came back to MWO to experience one of the greatest out pourings of love and support that I have ever seen anywhere. But, she was unable to truly absorb this experience due to alcohol and drugs. We cannot both "Numb Out" and "Live in the Moment"....we cannot absorb some experience and emotion and yet numb out the rest. Life becomes completely distorted by addiction.

      Here at MWO, we have recently lost 2 very dear friends due to addiction. Let's use these experiences to reflect on ourselves, our attitudes towards addiction, especially our own. None of us know what the next binge could be bring, none of us know when drinking will cause grave illness or even personal loss of family and friends. And, none of us know when we might also loose our life to it.

      Alcohol and drugs are truly the BEAST, we have to fight them with all we have......fight them with fire, fighting the beast with feathers and soft words, just does not beat the Beast!

      Let us pay tribute to the lives of those that we have lost by learning from their experience. That would truly be the hightest tribute to their lives and their sharing.
