There is a wisdom story about where one builds their house, on rock or sand. It is easier and softer to build on sand than rock but when bad weather comes, storms, floods, wind, the house on sand blows away. It only hold us in the good times. So it is with faith, recovery, or commitment to anything of deep value. I meet many a person who had religious faith early in life, child-like, but when tough times came in the growing up years, they abandoned faith. God did not come through for them. And there are people in the pink cloud of recovery when things are going their way. Then the tough times come, real life troubles, and they go back to their first solution, addictive stuff. I have to watch myself and make sure that my commitment is "for better or for worse, in good times and in bad." This is the house built on rock.
