Felicia!
I was hoping we weren't just singing to ourselves here. I am so glad to see your post. You have a lot of caring company for your journey to a better life; let's all make it together.
Hugs, Gianna

God bless you Felicia. Don't give up on God. There is that little thing called "choice" that He has given you. He would be a liar if he "made" you something around it and you would be a puppet.
Something I have learned is when you are at your weakest moment..the heat of temptation...such as your contemplation to take the drink the night before after 15 weeks...THAT is when God needed you to take his hand. Not drink, not expect an overwhelming force that changed your positon...just close your eyes, divert yourself and move on. I can guarantee your next day would have been a whole lot different than your initial post above. You would be writing everone praising what God has done. It's the little strenghts we gain, a brighter morning, a stronger stance in face of adversity...unfortuantley we don't always see this until AFTER it happens. He needs your faith.

Felicia,
HANG IN THERE, ONE MINUTE AT A TIME.
i think that if you needed a sign from your higher power, you found it by reading these posts. otherwise, you would have no faith that you should read them. you read them, and i hope that you got some possitive feedback, and you reconsider your future actions.

Felicia, the fact that you came back here and posted again is very un-selfish! We needed to hear that you were still around and OK. Don't give up, and keep coming back. We need all the help we can get to stay sober ourselves.
