I am not the infallible interpretor to be giving signs from above the proper meaning, and knowing how to react, or what actions to take .
What I can say though is, the biggest mistake the signs caused , was a suicide attempt off a building, and saying some things that scared some one who I know, who another person said is "petrified" of me. (Very serious no doubt!)
But had I not "petrified" this person, I could have been an addict the rest of my life!
Since last May, I have been sober over 99% of the time as a direct result of "petrifying" someone (no I didn't put my hands on anyone).
A direct result of petrifying someone broke me of a five year addiction I was powerless over.
I have roughly 9 months where I've been sober over 99% of the time, and were it not for that incident, I could have been a hopeless addict for decades or till death!
No matter how hard I tried, I kept quitting for a while, then getting swept away by the passions , and an inability to function without that chemical.
My brain didn't know how to release Dopamine or norepinephrine correctly without the chemical I was so dependant on.
The very bad "evil, wrong" incident was undoubtedly the best thing that could have happened to me, because as I've shared earlier, it brought sobriety, but also made it possible to console a mother of a suicide (she said I was more helpful than anyone with the grieving process).
The problem is, it wasn't good for the person I "petrified"! I will continue praying for and blessing the person wronged! It's the only service that can be offered at this time from this end!
But on this end, it was actually the best thing that happened to me in the last five years! How then, can one dismiss the mistake as "evil, wrong, bad" when it may have completely saved my life??
Anyone have a similar story? Any thoughts?
