I said it!!

After sitting here for nearly 4hours, reading as much information as I can, I walked out into the garden and said out loud to GOD

"I will never drink again, I will never drink again. I am an alcoholic" and asked for his support.

I am not a religious person, but looking up to the clouds and say it out loud felt like it mattered, i can't really explain how I feel right now.

Hope this makes sense to others

"Finally it seemed to me as though I were at the very bottom of the pit,"
he later wrote "All at once I found myself crying out, "If there is a God, let him show himself! I am ready to do anything, anything!"

"Suddenly the room lit up with a great white light. It seemed to me, in the mind's eye, that I was on a mountain and that a wind, not of air, but of
spirit was blowing. And then it burst upon me that I was a free man."

This is an account of an experience by the cofounder of AA.

He called it a spiritual experience.

Me too

I have only been an S/R family member only a month.I am a wife of a meth addict, and i went out side and shouted to god to give me strength, n help and hope. And he sent me a guardian angel, and when i gave it all to god things started to change, for the good. I pray that happens for you. Hang in there its coming(help). And the help and support here is wonderful. I am a enabler, codependent. GOOD LUCK

Another Louisianian hears you too.

"I will not drink TODAY"

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow hasn't
gotten here yet. JUST FOR TODAY is all
I have.
