Take responsibility for your choices. I have decided it is in my best interest to not have ANY alcohol for a couple of months and allow a deeper dependency on the Lord for my source of comfort to develop. This is experimental because I really do not believe that I have a serious issue with alcohol but I do depend on it in social and stressful situations. I have not had any alcohol for the past 7 days and did feel a little tempted last Friday. I was going to use it to "relax". Instead I turned to the Lord and prayed for peace and contentment with my vow of sobriety. It is a time for growth! Join me!
Day 13 of No alcohol!
ReplyDeleteI am proud of you for making this decision. I believe that when we depend on anything,(food, alcohol, things,etc...) other than Christ, we are not going to feel at rest. Alcohol is not a factor for me, but there are other things that I tend to turn to in stressful times, so the same holds true for that. I am sure your efforts will be blessed and I hope you come away experiencing growth and finding an even deeper dependency on God.

ReplyDeleteDay 19 of no alcohol!
ReplyDeleteMade it to day 25 and then drank some Sam Adams Light w/ an old high school friend. I have definitely gained insight on this experiment-- Alcohol is only an issue if you focus on it and rely on it in any way --- I know I don't have to have it, and enjoy life very much without-- Leave it for special and rare occasions is now the goal :-)
