what defines a line?
I wonder how much my bones will continue to ache before things change again. I wonder how long before my boobs disappear again. I wonder how many more panic attacks I will have before we figure out which medications/dosages work best for my body. I wonder why I continue to do this to myself. I wonder why addiction is easier to cope with than change. I wonder if I'll ever be part of the group that gets better and never looks back. Today I meditated on Psalm 19:13 "Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression." Where is the line between willful sins and addiction? I stayed away from triggering activities today, which did take significant discipline. I didn't intentionally do anything to make it worse, but obviously I am not completely better either. Is it the desires of my heart that define the fine line between willful sin and addiction? Is there actually a line at all? I am tired and irrational so I'm going to go to bed before I start babbling.
