Alcoholics don’t drink because they’re weak. They drink because they’re flawed. Until I was able to stop the alcohol abuse, I could not look at myself and see the flaws. Then I sought God’s Help so that I can change. Without God’s Help I cannot change. If I don’t change I will drink again. It’s

If today was to be my last day on Earth, what would I do? If I knew that I had until midnight… I think I would be happy that I made it this far and be grateful for this life. I would ask for forgiveness. I would forgive. I would tell the people I love

Sometimes I just have to let go of things and see what happens. Most things I can’t control. It’s kind of amazing to see how my world changes all by itself. That’s God’s Will in action. I’m good with that. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

My biggest problem is me. The biggest problems I face today are the ones I think are problems. The way I think about things determines how I feel about them. If I allow my fears to rise up, surely every challenge becomes a big problem. If I turn my fears over to God and trust

When I first stopped drinking, I could not fathom the idea of living without alcohol. I just wanted the physical, mental, and spiritual suffering to stop. I wanted to be able to drink like a normal person. I soon found out that when it comes to alcohol, I’m not normal. So, I had to learn

I am delighted when really wonderful things happen to people I know. It is especially sweet after I watch those same people persevere through hardships that really test their faith in God. Watching the positive change in the lives of others shows me the Grace and Power of God. Strap in, it gets better. God,
