How to stop drinking? Now that was a mystery!

I wanted to stop, but every time life got bad, I went back to alcohol. And me? I was a mother, a Christian woman devoted to her children, a highly educated professional, who didn t even think drinking was a good idea!

I drank like a fish. I was addicted. One day, I got right with God, went home, and started drinking. It was as if God slapped that glass right out of my hand. I knew I needed to change, no matter what it took.

I did all the things they told me to do. I went to meetings, wrote a journal, read books, prayed, and got to know God, but still I struggled. It was harder than I ever imagined, and suddenly, it seemed that everywhere I turned was yet another store selling booze. And I wanted it bad.

So I got myself a therapist, starting painting, and kept talking in 12 step meetings. And eventually the haze started to clear.

I began to have a peace inside that I hadn't know existed before.

Once I was sober about six months, things got awesome. Change had happened. And I know that change can happen for you too.
