Two weeks! When will the arrests start? Hebrews 12:1 "Let us run the race that is laid out before us." Start winning, even if it's only yourself! Me, I'm day 23 sober today—I've thrown alcohol in GITMO. Trust in God. And believe in yourself. We struggle together, and WE WILL WIN, TO GET HER!

Discussion/support thread: What 'wiles of the devil' are you throwing off or struggling with? My struggle has always been anger and alcohol, ever since 9/11. I'm finally DONE with the bottle! What is the race laid before you?
I'm wondering if thankfulness is a springboard to all other virtues. We have received the greatest benefits from God, and from our parents. Now the honor which we pay to God , our heritage and parents, is from being a thankful person. So I ask, is thankfulness or gratitude a beginning to other virtues? Our culture does not give the words virtue and honor much concideration. Try for a moment, contemplating their meaning. If there were a basic motivational drive to be a virtuous or honoring, I'd ask how thankful am I.
When I am thankful, I find it hard to be, Angry, negative, depressed, condemning, anxious, unreasonable, evil, mean, Apathetic, Arrogant, Callous, Mistrusting, Combative, Pessimistic, Petty, Conceited, Controlling, Rebellious, Covetous, Cruel, Resentful, Deceiving, Dishonest, Selfish, Small minded, Envious, Fearful, Grumpy, Unsympathetic, Untrusting , to name a few.
Be Thankful today and give Thanks.
We truly have the wisest Pedes.

I Thank God for you and all the others on this board , we support one another, it's what the body does. Catsfive you made yourself vulnerable we Thank you for your allowing God to use your testimony, it's a powerful word.
It does. I had the same thoughts, too.
I agree with you, it seems the more grateful one is, the more blessings there are.
Anger. It comes out almost by default. Working on eliminating caffeine now to see if that helps. Any other suggestions welcome!
Sugar. It's absolutely terrible for you. Its a hard one to do but your body will love you for it.
Yes! After giving up sugar and starch (keto) my inflammation is gone and overall health is much better.
My girlfriend does keto so by proxy I am too since we live together and I must say it feels amazing after you detox. The first week kinda sucks but wow do you feel better afterwards.
I've been skinny and fairly fit my whole life, so I figured it didn't matter what my diet was. Boy was I wrong. I didn't know I could feel this good.
Yes. Sugar and carbs and thus my weight. A knee injury has kept me from exercising like I used to but I finally am starting to make headway on that where I can walk again for short distances. I am focusing on eating correctly and healing the knee while also working to gain muscle and lose some of these inches.
Sorry about your knee but I'm glad to hear you're making progress. Sugar causes a lot of inflammation so I'm sure your joints are feeling the difference.
I definitely struggle with anger, especially in light of everything going on around us in the world. I also struggle to remember to lean on God for strength and to sincerely pray for things w/ a believing heart that there is NOTHING in this world that is too big for Him to over come. My husband is a functioning alcoholic and oblivious to a majority of things going on around us, making it very difficult to truly prepare and have a game plan for what’s to come. It’s made me be very aware of my relationship w/ the Lord and my need to lean on Him and trust that He’s in control of my life and will guide me, come what may. “Man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps”. Congrats on being sober! I’ll be praying for you in the days to come.
