Since my last post some horrible things have happend to my wife and I. Severe weather took our home and our vehicles. We have been homeless...I am in tears as I say this. I have been sober through it all.

All that time over the past few years I prayed to God to take control and he didnt was for a reason. His timing is perfect. February of last year I vowed to quit and failed again. I disapointed myself and my wife.

I dont have to be sad anymore. I dont have to strugle any longer. The shame and guilt is gone. But, Satan lurkes and I know this. He has and will continue to tempt me.

I almost lost everything that is truly meaningful to me over alcohol. And all alcohol gave me was a hangover.

Very sorry to hear about your home BD, but it's quite a testament to see your resolve to stay sober through this all. That is something no one can take away from you and will be a very strong asset in your rebuilding process. I hope there is local help available to you while the physical things around you are put back to normal.

BD,

Prayers.

Now that we are sober, it is hard to imagine dealing w life w a hang over.

That is the hell of addiction. We feel like a walking dead zombie, but we drink again...because we are physically and mentally addicted.

Once we get that sober time under our belts, and have the knowledge that we are drug addicts, we appreciate our success, and revel in our health.

Thanks.
