I do have faith in God. It used to suprise me when I reached out to hime for guidence, but not anymore. Last night leaving the office in route home which is a 30 minute drive I usually drank 1/3 bottel of Jim Beam or a 6 pack. The cravings are terrible right now, but I open my sunroof and stick a arm through the roof and pray and ask for strength. I get it. Now I'm asking for strength in my temperment which I have not done before. I'm praying probably 5-7 times a day now. I love the power of prayer.

My God allows me to pray however I see fit. There is not right or wrong way. I just enjoy talking to him. He talks back plenty, only without a voice.
Ya know, that's amazing faith and action for someone with 5 days of recovery. I wish I'd had that. Well done.
