Five months ago, I checked myself into the psychiatric unit of the local
hospital. I was a mess with drinking, pain pills and cutting. It is amazing
how low I sank that time. While there, it was recommended I go inpatient for my
alcoholism. My outpatient alcohol treatment therapist suggested it before I
went to the hospital. I was not a happy camper inpatient, but I did something I
had never done about my alcohol problem before while there. I prayed and
surrendered myself to God. I have had a peace about my program ever since.
When I got 90 days, I jumped into service at my home group, speaking at a
meeting, now chairing a meeting, and even serving on Intergroup. I am so
grateful I do not want to drink today, nor have I wanted to in a very long time.
God is good, ALL the time.
