Cindy… When I made the vow to quit drinking back in August of 2014, I can honestly say it was the toughest experience & decision of my life, but once I realised that I’d been given a second chance at life after surviving a car crash (somehow) that attending police claimed was “unsurvivable”, the decision to quit was a no-brainer.
….It was a hell of a struggle for me at first, going out with friends & trying to resist the urge to drink alcohol but something “switched on” inside of me & I declined all drinks offers. It took from August 2014 to December of 2015 before the urge & temptations to drink disappeared altogether & I’m so thankful for it. I dare say “the big guy upstairs” was looking out for me & helped guide me to a better & healthier lifestyle WITHOUT alcohol ✊😌🌅🌅🌅
Had I not taken the necessary steps, I probably wouldn’t have made it to still be around today but that stupid decision of mine to get behind the wheel drunk that night was one I almost lived to regret, but it was the ultimate kick up the ass I needed to wake up to myself & get myself out of that horrible spiral to oblivion I was headed for.
Amen! What a wonderful analogy, so true! I to my second week of trying to give up television. I am getting a whole lot more done with my life now. 😊 The next prompting I am working on is giving up my Sunday job. I am committed for February, I just have to be brave enough to step away for March and trust the Lord will help me put finances in order. 💝

Wow, that’s amazing that you gained victory over an addiction to alcohol. I pray God continues to strengthen you daily so you can remain victorious.

God turned your ashes into something beautiful!
Amen Cindy
Thankyou
