I've never understood faith healing either, I also believe that only I have the power to decide to quit drinking/drugging. I'm not sure what I believe regarding God or religion but I have a problem with a God who would ignore all the atrocities and injustices in the world yet single me out to cure of wanting to get drunk. Do I believe that I have an Addictive Voice that will always want to get drunk one more time for old times sake? Yes I do. Do I believe that I can ignore that voice and decide to never pour alcohol down my throat again? You betcha.
