It breaks my heart to let all of you know that my daughter this morning decided she no longer needs assistance....and has left to be on her own.

Sorry but not surprised to hear this. Addiction is cunning, baffling, and powerful, and commonly addicts declare themselves cured. Praying that Amanda stays away from drugs and knows how to get help if and when she needs it. Recovery is a lifelong process, one day at a time.

I am not surprised either Veto....I knew the spiritual recovery was going to be just as difficult, or more diffcult, than the physical....

I was witness to a miracle....through the prayers of God's faithful He raised my daughter to her feet...His grace, mercy and power awed and humbled me....and I am not easily awed....

Now my daughter wishes to dictate her own recovery....she has already relapsed...and refuses a treatment due to it being spiritual....even though all secular attempts have failed.

She has hardened her heart....and refuses to let those of sober mind or Godly thought near her....

I understand addiction changes a persons mind....but I feel there is more to this...

I also know it is God's will....and he hears are prayers...through faith, hope and love....He can move mountains....

I pray He performs another miracle this evening....and shepards a lost sheep home and closer to His unending love and protection.
