Willpower

Willpower fails every time if it is not Gods Will!

Patience and prayer

God WILL remove your desire to drink.  Once He does, all other obstacles can be overcome in time with patience and prayer.

Lies, lies

A lot of lies poured from the bottle and they left an after taste that I can only describe as misery.

It's about nothing

Without alcohol there is mostly a whole lot of nothing going on.  And that is just fine by me.  A sober nothing always seems to lead to joy!

Freedom

My best friend is sobriety.  We met a long time ago during recovery.  The thing I like best about sobriety is it allows me so much freedom.  Long gone are the days of bondage that were a part of everyday drinking.

Every once in awhile

Every once in awhile I still wonder what it would be like if...

Simply the best!

The best part of each and everyday is waking up sober!

Lights out

Last call is completely up to you.

Drunk driving

When we drink and drive we allow alcohol to show what little respect and regard it has for human life.

Relax!

Put down the bottle and get some rest.  The journey is long and complex!

Say when

If you can't decide between right or wrong, left or right you've probably had too much to drink!

Somebody I used to know

I.D please

If Satan is the bartender, then I am the bouncer, and I'm turning people away at the door.

Problems

I found myself wandering years after I had sobered up.  Without the drama of the bottle I have been able to overcome any problems that sober life may throw my way.  

Let's go!

Walk with me to a place where the desire to drink is forbidden.

Remorse

It's Friday, and if your like I was pain and remorse are less than 48 hours away.

Complete defeat

Victory begins the moment we put the bottle down.  Anything prior to that is simply complete defeat.  

How I quit

Live or die I turned away from alcohol and sprinted towards God.  I knew that death was hiding behind my next drink.

All aboard!

I was a train wreck when I drank and I could never figure out why no one wanted to climb aboard.

Coming home

I was emotionally, spiritually and physically far from home when I drank.  It was honesty and prayer that got me back on track.

Spiritual growth

Death or sobriety!  In which direction is your next drink taking you?

This is how we do it

The only escape from drunkenness is called recovery.  An honest and well worked recovery eventually becomes sobriety.

No means no!!

Alcohol is always calling me back and for nearly 17 years I have shouted back a firm NO!!

Problems

After nearly 17 years sober I realize I no longer have a drinking problem.  I have a JAY problem!  Time to go back to the manufacturer.  I am talking about God.  God is love, God is healing.  God is the fix we should all be looking for.

God knows!

I found myself just in time.  God knew where I was for years.  Alcohol kept me hidden from the real me.

1000 places

1000 places within my heart that will always regret the things I did and the things I said while I was under the influence.  I took my pain, fear and confusion and turned it upon others.  Alcohol has a way of doing that.  It numbs our brains and takes away our heart until nothing is left but nasty!

So low

So low both emotionally and physically is how I felt after years and years of drinking.  So low that I was unable to reach the bottle anymore.  This is when I realized that a spiritual fix was my only hope.  That spiritual fix for me was God!  Personal prayer so private, so powerful, that hope could be felt within moments.  And where there is hope, there is change, healing and direction.

The numbers game

17 years of sobriety versus one drink.  I drink, I lose.  Help me to help myself by allowing me to help you!

Give me your heart

Give me your heart and I will show you what true sobriety is all about!!

Just the thought

Just thinking about drinking got to be intoxicating after awhile.

Alcohol is blind

I like what I saw...in everybody else but myself.

No special reason

I just drank and drank for no special reason other than I could not stop once I got started.

An alcoholic is...

The first to know and the last to find out.

Direction

I don't know where I'm going but I always know where I am at.  That is why I do my best to make sure God is in charge!

Energy

It takes quite a bit of energy to be a drunk.  Towards the end of my drinking days it was energy I lacked and peace I desired.

It's about time.

I feel that it might be time to resurrect the old radio show in an attempt to inspire, enlighten and sober up those who need it most.  There is a heck of a lot happening on the sober side of life!

In too deep

By the time I saw what alcohol was doing to me I was in too deep.  A spiritual fix was desperately needed.

Left for dead

Alcohol left me for dead one day and the only one who could save me was God.  Not psychiatry, psychology or medication of any kind could have helped me until I allowed God to let me help myself.

I am living proof that the power of prayers strengthens and heals!
