Faith

I'm running on nothing but faith up here in Wisconsin and its long past due. More to be revealed!

Alone

If you think you can't sober up alone you are right. Minutes before taking my own life I shouted out to God. Within hours he placed a small army of people in my path who gave me the strength, courage and wisdom to get where I am today. If you ask for God's help in sobering up He will see to it that you never have to go through it alone.

Grace

I am not half the man I claim to be. I tip my hat to God! For His grace has kept me alive and given me hope.

So imperfect

So imperfect am I that my finest thoughts seem to push me into chaos. Sobriety has been kinder to me than I have been to myself.
Hoping to do more of Gods work than my own. I have a purpose in this life and that purpose is unknown to me.

Far from perfect

I am far from perfect even after 17 years without a drink. I may anger, ignite and irritate a great many around me. But at the end of the day if I can lay my head down without a drink I have another day to smooth out the rough edges

Absolutely nothing!

Periods of homelessness. Having absolutely nothing, because I gave it all to alcohol. That was the worst part of being a drunk.

Sometimes...

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to have a drink or two and walk away completely satisfied.
