hallelujah - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

lisap · 08-30-2007, 07:38 AM

Good morning,

I have not posted here since probably January or February, boy was I struggling! I could not stay sober, was angry at god for my alcoholism, and in complete self pity.

By the grace of god, last week i celebrated four months of sobriety. I say hallelujah today for being in the solution and for god's providence. It has not been super easy or anything but living in my old life was not easy either!!!!!!!!!!!

For anyone struggling, hang in there and keep on crying out to god. He is our refuge and our strength. Prayers for all those who are struggling today.

Peace be with you,

Lisa

thanks guys!

I have been attending AA and it has really helped, sometimes I feel like some are down on Christians though.........

Has anyone here worked the steps in AA before? Would love to hear your experiences.

Thankful to be sober,

Lisa
