HOW??????? i need a simple answer from someone who understands the complication of the addiction, the emptiness, gratification and control - anything better than the sadness.
I cut myself to be able to have some sort of control over the pain in my life... for once i controlled the hurt, how much blood flowed, if i lived or died... and then, thank God, someone stepped in. I will tell you what they told me, because even though I dont know you, I know that this is the truth, and it applies to you as well. You are a beautiful person! Your life has meaning, and I love you. You have infinite potential and worth. you have, can, and will make a difference. I told myself these things everyday, wrote them on my wall and read the every time I walked by. And one day, I realized it was true. But you cannot be truely healed until you give your life to God. Only he can replace your pain and hurt with joy and peace. He can give you eternal love deeper than you can ever imagine! He delivered me from this addiction, and others!
