I highly recommend this talk for anyone struggling with an addiction or if you know of someone who is. Or if you have found yourself off the path and want to come back, this talk can really help.
One thing I have learned lately is that even through our biggest trials God wants us to be happy. He doesn't want us to live in despair and beat ourselves up for our mistakes. If we are honest with ourselves and others, we can truly feel joy amidst even the hardest trials. Throw in some acts of kindness and service and you will feel peace that you are doing the right thing and you are on the right path. Change is not easy, but like Elder Scott says in this talk, it is not as hard as we may think it is. We just need to make the leap.
I am very grateful for the people in my life and the opportunities that have been placed in front me. I know that if I can find my way back, then anyone can. The road is long and at times very difficult, but it is worth it. Keep fighting. We can all overcome ANYTHING with the Savior. I know this to be true.
Hey buddy, just wanted to let you know I enjoy reading your blog posts and am proud of you. Keep up the good work!
