It saddens me to see so many of our classmates struggling. Maybe it's a common thread, in part, because we are so new to abstinence. Life in general can throw out some pretty crappy situations, and we are used to softening the blow with a drink or 2 or several.
Mother Theresa once said (something like), God won't give you more than you can handle...I just wish He didn't think I could handle so much! So that's where I see some of us. God sure has thrown a lot on our plates. But I have no doubt He can help us through it.
For me, I am once again sitting on my deck with my morning coffee. I hit double digits today. Day 10.
Hang in there Class of August.
