People like me don’t need a reason or an excuse to drink or use drugs. We’re alcoholic. It’s what we do.
During times of great emotional pain, it used to be my first option.
I need a reason to NOT drink.
Having experienced God’s Grace in saving me from the insanity and suffering from alcohol and drug abuse, I know that the better choice is to not pick up a drink or a drug.
Sometimes knowing is not enough. Sometimes the only thing saving me is my conscious contact with the God of my understanding.
It’s not a struggle when I fully rely on God.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You.
