Forgiveness happens when a person willingly forgives the wrongs that have been committed against them by another.

Addiction is a disease of isolation. That’s not news to those of us who have spent time there.

Once we have cleaned up our lives from all past involvement in destructive and addictive practices we are home free for a life of joy and peace and blessing, right?
