Endurance Race of Life and Addiction e-bog

This is written for my son, Nathan, and all those that struggle with addiction. Addiction must be the worst stronghold anyone faces. While our country fights the epidemic of opioids, so many of our families are losing their battles to overdoses, deaths, and mental health illnesses. This needs to stop. To the families of those addicted, I encourage you to find your role in your family members' addiction. Don't enable, disable, or just tolerate. You have a role to play, and it can be a healthy, loving role with many rewards including a healthy, happy, and hopeful family member and a successful recovery someday. Also, this is written for all the women out there that hit their midfifties and think they are "e;too old"e; to do anything active. Don't believe those lies. The devil would like to keep you right where you are. Think again! When your desires to be better become hard, push through it and "e;do it anyway"e;! You will love the results. And for any of you that have ever wanted to complete or compete in a race, a bike ride, a 5K, 10K, or an IRONMAN, go for it. Step out in faith, get moving, and when it is hard, do it anyway!There is hope. Don't stop fighting. The battle is real, but there is hope"e;"e;hope to win the race. This endurance race for life is not easy, but it's available to you. God has a plan for you and me. Be willing to work His plan. There is freedom waiting for you there. In sincere love, faith, and hope,Lisa Heyer
