Recovering alchoholic.

For many years I have drank a case a day(24) and finally reached a point in life of drinking 40-50 beers a day. I got totally sick of my drinking and prayed several times to quit. One day about 4 months ago I think Christ entered my life in a big way and I felt TRUE love for the first time. I just quit cold turkey without any thought and I think it was Christ that filled a need for the drug of Love and replaced my need to medicate myself into a False high. Now the very thought of alcohol makes me sick to think about and the only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that Christ helped me. I pray every day that I can stay on this wonderful sober journey and experience more of Christ in my life. THANK YOU JESUS!

Alcoholism is a dreadful addiction, really glad to hear the Lord set you free. Hang in there and put your trust in Him; you can't go wrong.

Im glad you become servant of God. The wicked have to worry. Psalms chapter 37. The wicked will be destroyed, but those who call on the Lord for help will get the land he promised. 37:10. In short time there will be no more evil people. You can look for them all you want, but they will be gone. Habitual simners, won't repent, and hate God and the righteous. This group is on collision course on judgement Day. The 3 qualifiers for lake of fire, hating God and the righteous and despise his laws. 37:12. The wicked plot against the just, and gnash upon him with his teeth. 37:20. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as fat of the lambs, they shall consume, into smoke shall they consume away. Reprobates/wicked are enemies of the cross, and hate God and the righteous. There not going to repent, and amend there ways. They enjoy Satan's sedative. They have no conscience. False brethren spread heresy. Try to contradict God's truth. They have no godly growth or inner transformation. Its smoke and mirrors. False brethren/Reprobates masquerading as some one of noble character. This group is doing Satan's will. There are some false brethren on this forum. And they try to target new members, and lure them into private setting. And sometimes, one or more false brethren follow me around. Christian people can't be pawn im their game. Try to expose them and avoid them. Psalm chapter 11:5 . God hates wicked people. Its doing works of God, not our own works that matter. Wicked leave trail of bad fruit. Psalms 129:3. Plowmen have plowed my back, and made the furrows lomg. But the Lord is righteous, he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked. Reprobates will plot evil, spread heresy and cause division. There puppets for Satan. At the 7th trump, God cuts there strings. This group is going into pit during milliumum. Reality will set in at the 7th trump. 129: :6. Let them be as the grass upon the house tops, which withers afore it grows up. There is no substance or value with reprobates. Its worthless. Again, they won't repent and there sedative is to serve Satan. Psalms 11:5. Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the Wicked. Unbelief and infidelity. Wicked hate body of Christ and Jesus. Christian people are to hate evil and arrogance. Ill gotten gains is only part of it. Those who choose to follow Satan will end up hell. On judgement Day, there souls are blotted out forever. We can't serve two masters at same time. Those who repent and love and serve God have nothing to worry about.

Going on 7 months and still absolutely no craving for alcohol. Thank You Jesus a thousand times over for helping me get out of that nightmare! I will continue to pray for help though as I do not want to backslide.

Congratulations! I recently passed my 14 year milestone... God originally delivered me from the snares
of addiction and alcoholism when I cried out to Him for help in 1994... within days I had lost the desire
to use after twenty for years of abuse... though it was still more years after that before I became a believer.


Congratulations

Amen!
Congratulations!
God is good and He replaces the bad with much good.

My sobriety birthday is Sept. 28, 1999. It is the quality of the time of my alcohol abstinence that measures
this time of it all. It should be of serious consideration, never to be complacent with one's sobriety time, which has
been known to be the downfall of many that have relapsed.

Yes, my Higher Power was and is instrumental in my sobriety, plus the AA program and a grounded sponsor.
My conclusion is this...I became willing to change my way of life as a full blown alcoholic with some forty years
experience drinking, beer was my choice of drink. Fear of a near death from alcohol abuse is a fearful place, and
I can assure you, it's a place you don't want to experience.

I hope your sobriety is enhanced with God as your co-pilot. ODAAT.

My journey to the pit was only 5 years. Jesus saved me just before my 21st birthday. I was hospitalised twice in two weeks with alcohol poisoning. There were times that I dared not go to sleep because I was terrified that I would not wake up. I was able to hide this well enough.

I when I accepted Christ, a great weight lifted off me, a burden of guilt that I did not know I carried. I also found the answer to the question I did not realise that I was asking. My life was in freefall because I could see no meaning. Jesus is that meaning for everyone. Only He can fill the void. I soon quit drinking. I quit entirely for two years. Then I started the occasional glass of wine with dinner. I knew when to stop, the opposite of what I was before.

I was miraculously healed of a serious liver complaint.

My parents were alcoholics. They went to AA in their 50's. They stayed sober, but they were not saved. They dare not have another drink. Jesus set this captive free. Now I do not drink at all. I don't enjoy it and neither does my body. I can if I want to.

I rode the weekend booze train for around a decade until got weaned me with a tegu lizard.

Curious, whats the lizards name?

JC Denton, from an oldish computer game. Had him for several years til my situation changed and had to give him away, he would literally go for walks in the dog park.

I suffered marijuana addiction, I was a chronic smoker when I was young. Now I will not smoke, because it causes severe anxiety and panic attacks, I am allergic to it.

I drank alcohol and almost died from it. I had poison for 3 days at the mental hospital.

I hate alcohol and drugs. I was put into substance abuse group against my will, and learned some things. You either will have life, or the drugs. What is your choice? I have chosen life, because to me, that is what I love.
