I can’t say I’ve really been addicted to anything but your words stir me. I’ve dabbled and experimented with everything short of needles. The relaxation of pot almost got me but the apathy and the constant drowsiness steered me away from it permanently. I didn’t like being a dull sword. Alcohol though, whew man, alcohol. I want to think I don’t have a drinking problem as I don’t drink to get drunk. I just love beer. The flavor of the craft beers are so amazing and a 10% beer is about as smooth as Coors Light. I keep playing games with myself though like limiting the amount I drink, limiting the days I drink. In the end the volume at each session is not the issue but the fact that I have to keep having sessions is a clear dependence problem. Drowsiness is rearing it’s ugly head with this too. The biggest guilt I feel is the pull and the coveting beer more than Jesus at times. Am I getting drunk. No. Am I loving something more than Christ. Yes. Thank you for your words. They remind me of that great song I’ve heard a 1000 times before I noticed what the words actually say and the meaning behind them and how song becomes even better. As steel sharpens steel so it is with men. Godspeed in your battle and to Him be the glory. With renewed confidence I will be fighting alongside you.
