Penulis: Dennis Wright

My name is Dennis Wright and I am an addict. Don”t get me wrong, I am not saying I am broken, what I am saying is that I have been able to live outside my own parameter for many years now. I owe my life to the 12 steps and I thank the God of my understanding for allowing me to have a life beyond my cognizance. It is because I am an addict that I found Jesus. I am not here to tell you anything that you have to do, I am here to tell you what I had to do. Part of what I did was to make 8500 meetings since 8/5/88. In the process I found freedom from my flesh. My body no longer dictates my actions, (aside from food, water, and toilet). I no longer HAVE to obey my addictions, and this includes pornography and cigarettes, and I no longer have to steal my time from my family. I have been in the rooms since July 24, 1978 and have now, (by God”s grace) been able to maintain my clean time for 22 years. I am still on my last chance and I cannot afford to ever think that I have this thing whipped, I have seen too many of my friends die. The sad part is that I have had more friends kill themselves and die clean than I have friends relapse and die. So you tell me why I am still alive and they are not. I believe it is because of my talent for verse and my courage to put it out there no matter what you may think.
