I did not stop drinking to please someone else, and I didn’t stay stopped for someone else.
I stopped because alcohol no longer provided relief for me, yet I still needed it – even when I didn’t want it anymore.
Alcohol and the internal turmoil it caused held power over me like nothing else could.
I have found relief by changing the way I live.
Living sober is not easy for an alcoholic. That’s why most of us can’t stay sober.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
