I am the human race

I consist of 7 billion people

I am a recovering addict of 'me'

What do I mean?

I am addicted to alcohol

I am addicted to drugs

I am addicted to pornography

I am addicted to sex

I have killed

I have stolen

I have lied

I have done many things

All around the world

I am addicted to many things

And none of them satisfy

But when I bottom line it

What do I see

When I, human race, look in the mirror

What do you tell me

It all boils down to this

I am addicted to me

My addiction to drink

Is my addiction to me

My addiction to drugs

Is my addiction to me

My addictions are my addiction to me

I have a hole

It is of infinite proportions

A black hole

I try to fill it

It simply gets sucked up and consumed

I try to fill it again

A temporary feeling of satisfaction

And then....

Nothing

... only more hunger

I try to feed it

More and more

... and more.

It only gets worse.

My addiction to me.

My addiction to feeding me

My way.

But there is Someone who is infinite

Who can fill my huge black hole

When I am addicted to Him

My hunger ends

When I am addicted to Him

My addiction diminishes and is weakened

My addictions disappear

When I am addicted to Him

Because addiction is about needs

And He supplies them all

He is ever satisfying

No more fixes

No more hits

He created me

He saved me

He satisfies me

He loves me

No more addiction to me

I have found my true source

I have found my everything

He is the road to recovery for my addiction

(He who started a good work in me will finish it)

He is the road to the end of my addiction

(walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh)

He is the road to the fulfilment of my needs

(My God shall supply all my needs)

He fulfils my need to be loved

(God so loved the world that He gave His only Son)

He, not me now lives and I am free

(It is I, yet not I who lives but Christ who lives in me)

He is the Saviour for me, Human Race, to recover from my addiction
