When trouble comes
When difficulty comes, our first reaction (at least mine) is often one of panic. I mean, sometimes the physical takes over. The adrenaline rush often happens quickly and, by definition, spontaneously. Adrenaline is the body’s hormone that spurs the flight or fight instinct. You feel it in your stomach, like a feeling of falling or something similar.
Lessons from my interviews
The series began soon after I told our story of dealing with an addicted son. The outpouring of comments, questions, and encouragement from this prompted me to invite others to tell their stories.
The series began soon after I told our story of dealing with an addicted son. The outpouring of comments, questions, and encouragement from this prompted me to invite others to tell their stories.I published the first interview on September 3, 2018. I interviewed Deanna, who blogs at Ms. Fiology. In the interview, she talked about how she overcame an addiction to methamphetamine. She, in turn, interviewed my wife, Cathy and me on her blog about what it was like parenting a son who was an addict.
The role of faith in overcoming adversity
For Deanna, Andrea, Bill, Cathy and me and many others, God plays a huge role in our dealing with adversity
From Deanna: “When I had this vision, I got down on my knees and prayed for the first time in a long time. Nothing monumental happened, but I did throw away my drugs.”From Andrea: “You want to recognize and accept your emotions and healthily deal with them. In my situation, this meant finding faith in God and seeking His guidance.”From Bill: At that moment, I decided to create a new personal identity away from drugs, and start pursuing God rather than my selfish ambitions.
Isolation and overcoming adversity
When we go through the junk in our lives, we often feel embarrassed. Sometimes embarrassment turns to guilt. Guilt then turns to shame. Shame often leads to isolation. Here is what I said in the post:
“I’ve been amazed and moved by the willingness of my interviewees to tell their stories. To the person, all did it to help anyone dealing with a similar issue. In fact, one of the standard questions I ask people is something like, “What encouragement would you give others dealing with a similar issue?”
