A Sober Heart
Another milestone is in my hand
Just two more weeks I have to go
These fifty weeks have quickly passed
But not an easy ride I have to say
Times of pain with moments of joy
Yet I’ve been pulled through so that now
A sober heart is ready to cry
From the highest mountain I can climb
These simple words of glorious praise
For the gift of strength from above
The greatest love one can receive
Through Christ I’m reborn in the Fathers love
Amen! It is such a blessing to hear you standing strong in Christ’s strength!
Hi Joseph
Thank you, I couldn’t have made it this far without His gift of strength, my first prayer was for strength to get through this, He keeps providing, especially when I feel at my weakest.

350 days? That’s AWESOME!!!! Praise God!!! You’re blog is an absolute inspiration! And it sounds like although it is still hard, you ARE still going strong! God is proud of you my new friend!
Addictions are interesting things, they seem to be creatures on their own, with a mind and a will and can take ANY form they choose. While I wasn’t addicted to a bottle, I was definitely addicted to a certain deadly thought pattern, a way of life. It was easy and common, “normal”. Except that’s not what God called anyone to is it? He called us to be holy, set apart, ab-normal, DIFFERENT!
Way to go on fighting your addiction, I look forward to the encouragement you will bring to me as we fight our addictions together! I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength, the strength to fight another battle and face another day.
It’s not easy, but it is worth it!
Hi Tamar
Thank you for your fantastic comment, at times this fight isn’t easy, that’s when I fall back into his strength, I just struggle to say I can’t do it on my own sometimes.
But I’ll keep fighting and praying for that strength he gives me.
Thank you again

Praising God for your strength! And sending my hugs to you for a job well done – May God continue to bless you.
Thanks Patty
I appreciate your kind comments and hugs, thanks for your support.

Be encouraged…there is total freedom from addiction in Christ Jesus. You do not have to live with the desire to drink, He can even set you free from that. It will not always be this hard…ask for complete deliverance from the desire, keep pressing into Him, and it will come. He did it for me, so He can do it for you
Thank you for encouragement, I’m sure complete deliverance will come, but for the time being I will rejoice in the strength he gives as I face each challenge.
Thanks again
Wayne
Congratulations on this, another “one day at a time”!
Hi TL,
I keep counting those days, that’s the most important thing, thank you for your support and encouragement.
