Life is Like a Champion Boxer

     Life aint no box of chocolates! I loath that saying. It's more like a Champion boxer: Rough, tough, quick and unpredictable. Life will help you up the starirs only to push you back down and laugh. But I'm guessing that you knew that. I'm only sayin' it because this past week hasen't been the greatest for me.
     This past week was a major milestone for me in recovering from an addiction. A horrible horrible addiction that has caused me pain for over 5 years. This last week though was the 3 weeks strait of me being clean from the addiction. It's wasn't easy, but it was definetly worth it.
     Well, a few more days go buy and I feel great! The happiest I've ever been! I was thankful at first but slowly became prideful as the days went on, and this is where life pushed me back down the stairs.
     I gave into my addiction once again, that sunday afternoon. I hated myself. So many evil thoughts flooded my mind. Many of those things were self harming or suicidal. I didn't want to be strong anymore. I turned my back on what this blog is all about and just wanted to give in, but I didn't.
    That night, as many nights I have had like that, i felt Christ's love for me through others. They don't know what they did for me but I thank God for putting them into my lives. They helped me gain that strength to get on my knees and ask for fogiveness.
    Today I was still feeling guilty for what I had done, as is natural after doing something you know to be wrong, and that humility helped me learn something new. I learned that life isn't just going to bruskly stop you with problems. But is going to flow like music with no words. Or a boxer with a fluid pattern. There will be drops in the music, jabs to the face, soft melodic melodies and rock hard beats.  Each part of it is beautiful, each jab giving you that boost to get through the fight. Unless you let those jabs push you down. With each fight we win, we grow stronger, more knowledgeable on how to live our lives. And over all I learned this week. The biggest would have to be just to go with the flow and dance both to the fast and slow.
     I so hope that you guys can have that strength to get through life's rough days. To find that friend who will help you and for you to be their hope in life as well. For as we are strong in Christ, christ shall be strong in us.
