It's not my call

Even after 16 years away from the bottle I find myself in difficult situations.  Situations I doubt I can overcome without the help of God.  But that's okay because everything in my life is God's call not mine.

I would not have it any other way.

God is

GOD IS LOVE! 

God is also peace, hope, healing, strength and courage.

God is where you need to be at this moment if it is sobriety you seek!

A THOUGHT...

Success starts the moment you commit to putting down the bottle forever!

After we put the bottle down

After we put the bottle down, we can get that "pick me up" from those who have been there.  God too, is always there to pick us up whenever we need it.  And when we are healed and able to function without the aid of the bottle, we can be there for others who have taken our place.
That is when we we begin to serve God and fulfill our purpose to Him.

Nothing remains

No joy, no hope and dreams that are no longer present.  Friends and family are in hiding.  The money has run out and time no longer waits for you to turn things around.  Nothing remains except another dismal drunk followed by remorse and uncertainty.

Nothing remains except a cry for help in the middle of a cold, dark and lonely day.  All that is left to do is turn your back on your next drink and get down on your knees and pray.  God will do what needs to be done...

Blessings!

Let's hear it!

The best thing about drinking has eluded my memory for the past sixteen years.

Alcohol is a dominant force in the lives of so many who have no hope.

Drunkenness 101

All I knew for over two decades was to drink, get drunk and pick up the pieces.  Daily despair become a way of life.  My level of normalcy took a rather dismal and unhealthy dive.

One day I looked in the mirror and saw myself as others had seen me for years.  That was the most sobering moment of my life!
