ALCOHOL , VICE & HOPE .......

Hi Y'all
The title of today's chapter in the book of my life is titled:

ALCOHOL , VICE & HOPE.....and a few thought's from people who came before me......
.................................................. ..............................

"Men wished to be saved from the mischiefs of their vices , but not from their vices ".........Ralph Waldo Emerson "

" Drunkenness is the ruin of a person. It is premature old age. It is temporary death " ......St. Basil

"Abuse is the weapon of the Vulgar "......Samual Griswold Goodrich

"Not to have control over the senses is like sailing in a rudderless ship , bound to break to pieces on coming in contact with the very first rock" .....Mahatma Gandhi

" Hope is the Parent of faith "....Cyrus A. Bartol

" Let us , then , be up and doing ,
With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving , still pursuing ,
Learn to labor and to wait. "

Thank you for being online and sharing those wise words. If we can laugh and cry at the same time, I am. I am disheartened and hopeful at the same time. My heart is broken and healed all at the same moment. I am givingup and holding strong.

Have you all also read the description of the alcoholic in the BIBLE????
Go to Proverbs chapter 23, verses 29 thru 35. very interesting, very true, and very sad.
