This is such a great story. Oh, the excuses we make to retain our addictions. The rationalization of it is so real. I loved this part, this prayer.....“Overcome us that, so overcome, we may be ourselves: we desire the beginning of your reign as we desire dawn and dew, wetness at the birth of light.” Let us be ourselves as created by the Heavenly Father.
Oh so so good
