This is taking a lot of courage for me to post this...It’s been a rough road dealing with alcoholism. When I first got saved God gave me incredible power to abstain for months until really bad tribulations hit me. Then I dug myself into a dark hole for months.

I know God won’t give up on the work he started in me. I’ve been sober 2 weeks today and luckily am not craving it. It is to the point where I am afraid to even touch a drop. I pray I never turn back to it. I’m scared of relapsing. Please pray God will break those chains for good and that I can stay sober.

Thank you! :) I don’t want to. I’d be fine without ever having it again. I’m happy I can finally say that.

I have some alcoholism that runs in the family so I get it. And proud of you for having the courage to come on here and be honest with everyone!

Discouragement is one of the Devil's strongest traps. Keep getting up and fighting. You know when you are most vulnerable. Jesus told His disciples to watch and pray! Guard your heart from discouragement!

Consider financial planning. That might be the problem
you are tying to solve with alcohol.

Amy,
Congratulations on being sober two weeks! I’ll pray for you.

However, there’s more to it than just prayer, there’s action. I strongly recommend you go to AA or Celebrate Recovery (Google that, you’ll find one) and connect with other alcoholics in recovery. Ask specifically for a Christian sponsor. There will be one, guaranteed.

If you’re hungry, you can pray for food and God will provide, but you have to cook dinner. If you’re thirsty, pray for water, but you have to get up and turn on the faucet. If you’re an alcoholic, you can pray for sobriety but if you don’t go and use the tools God has provided, like AA or Celebrate Recovery (found in hundreds of churches), you aren’t doing your part.

Just remember, no matter how far one walks off God's path, we're only one step away from getting back on it.

God bless you be strong!

I may have some encouragement for you from someone who came from a life of addictions.. keep fighting and having faith in the Lord and he will deliver you and you will become strong enough to say no.. I am almost 2 years clean and it sure is a battle but keep fighting and having faith and you will have victory also over it.. will pray for you also :prayer:
