Thus is my daughters testimony....today.
4 years ago today....I was a mess. Completely broken and more sad than you can imagine. Little did I know on that dark and drunken night my life was about to change! I was living in a world without hope or faith....surrounded by fear and hostility.* I wasn't capable of loving or being loved in return. Life sucked and it was hard. I made my life hard by a string of horrible choices. I pushed people away who tried to love me and told myself that I was better off alone. Death sounded like a sweet end to a horrible life. I was done. I wanted to be done. But boy oh boy did God have other plans for me.
4 years ago I was having my last drink unaware that God was watching...and completely unaware of how much he truly loves me. I had no idea how much my family loves me and I certainly didn't know if I had any friends or who they were. I had a God sized hole in my heart and in my life. But I didn't realize that ...I just figured I needed another drink. By all human reasoning I shouldn't be here to say any of this today. Addiction consumed my life in the darkest way possible.* It was only by the grace of God that I can say 4 years ago today I had my last drink. I don't look to the bottle for an answer I look to the skies. I have learned that I have an incredible family who loves me and who I love very much. I still don't have a lot of friends but the ones that I have are keepers and truly love me. I learned how to love myself and others but most importantly I met Jesus. God did a bunch of miraculous things in my life over the last 4 years ...I still don't really understand how much he loves me ...but I know it's a lot!! I am so grateful for the people who never gave up on me even long after I gave up on myself. Thank you for praying for me and loving me.
I am not sharing this for a pat on the back or any kind of attention. To be honest I would rather not bare my soul from my darkest days. However I just needed to say if you are struggling with an addiction of any kind... there is hope and it doesn't need to be the end!! And if you have a family member or friend who seems like a lost cause or beyond repair ....keep praying !!! God hears your prayers and they help. So many alcoholics and addicts don't survive...so please never stop praying!
