Wasted Lives

John Belushi, Nick Drake, Chris Farley, Judy Garland, Jimi Hendrix, River Phoenix and Elvis Presley, do you see a common denominator with these people? Yes, aside from being famous they also died because of drug overdose. They have wasted their beautiful and famous lives just for a quick euphoria.

Well, we don’t know the truth why they have resorted into this kind of addiction but I wished they have submitted themselves to a drug treatment center. In this way, they might have prevented their sudden death to useless chemicals. If they were firm enough like those who have undergone drug and alcohol rehab, they might have a better life up to this day.

Anyway, all of those things have already happened but I hope it will serve as a reminder to those who are currently under the influence of these chemicals. There is hope and help is just around the corner. We can’t do this by ourselves. There is a God whom we can ask for strength to pursue our willingness to change. All we need to do is decide to let go, ask for strength and undergo programs on rehabilitation.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” – Psalm 73:26
