I want to do this and can't. Any advice?
“As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
This quote epitomizes the basic difference between success, and failure.
Alcohol isn't the problem.
"Evil forces" are not the problem.
Your
thoughts are the problem!
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Proverbs 23:7
We are no better than the thoughts we think. If we think up, we go up. If we think down, we go down. The choice is yours, and yours alone. No one but yourself can alter your condition. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Good luck and God Bless
