The purpose of my writing these meditations is two-fold. First, it is my sincerest desire that I may inspire and move some lost soul’s heart toward God and recovery. Second is to give all the glory to my God. I count each day of my life, each day sober, each day without a suicidal thought as a testimony of God’s everlasting saving grace. If one person and his or her family can be spared the agony of a suicide, then let that be my outward sign of my inward desire to help in some small way. But let the glory be for the Great Spirit, for without, I surely would have already perished.
