So How Many of You Suffer Frm This??

Hi T.,

I am 37 years old and a mother of 3 with #4 on the way. I have been sober for 2 1/2 years. I can so relate to you and what you are feeling. I too have found God and rely on him to make it through each and every day. It is so very important for us to have him to lean on. It is also very important for you to know that there are things that you can do to work through your past mistakes. I would be happy to talk with you about this if you choose. Please call me at ###-###-####. My name is Kathy.

You are very brave to be going throught this. The fact that you are reaching out is amazing! I am glad you found God, He is the only one that can truly set you free. I will keep you in my prayers - Congradulations

Hi T.,

I just wanted to say "God Bless you". He is truly amazing to us and I pray he will continue to give you strength, and peace to continue to move forward in your life. I pray God will send helpers for you and people you can help as well.

It is wonderful that you have turned your life over to God and allowed Him to help you. I know he will never let you down. I would like to suggest you check out JoyceMeyer.com. She has wonderful resource to help. I partner with the ministry and have found her words of wisdom so amazing in my life.

God bless you,

Wow - what an inspiration you are! I am not an alcoholic so I don't know what you are going through but I felt compelled to encourage you in your walk with the Lord and your freedom from alcohol. God is so good! I just wanted to remind you of what you probably already know and that is that you have the power of the Holy Spirit to rely on. We can't become like Christ without His power. So I applaud you for your honesty, your willingness to help others and for putting your faith in the One that is there for you 24/7. God bless you!

I do not suffer from a drinking problem, but I have many addicts in my family. I also have a relationship with God,and he is a great God. It sounds like you are on a great path. I am so proud of you. Keep up the hard work I know that God will bless you. I am a mother of 4 and 2 of my boys have chose to live with their father, it is not easy but it must be in God plan. I will be praying for you.

I do not usually read my "mamma source" everyday however I did today to find your "story". I am not an alcoholic however your bravery in writing yours intrigued me. It was refreshing to me to see a a request that truly is a request; not what kind of products to use or how to get my child to stop doing something. You do not know me however let me say I am proud of you. It's okay to "start over"; we all need to fall a little to see how far we have come in life. Your kids will be okay and so will you. Don't ask to "help" someone else; each of us needs to learn our lessons our own way and at our own pace. Yes you can talk about it but just concentrate on T. - you are the only one who can change her. Best wishes on the rest of your journey.

The most important thing I can say to you is this:

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

I admire your courage and commitment to recovery. I am very familiar with alcholism as it affects a member of my immediate family. We did an intervention last year and I learned more in three days than what I have learned in my MBA program. He has had a relapse and I learned even more. The choice for recovery belongs to him and no one else. Just as the choice belongs to you and you have taken that step.

Do not be ashamed. This is a disease. It is not curable but you can be in recovery and it sounds as though you are. Each day is a new beginning for you and each day can also be a struggle. Please know that God or your higher power will guide you.

You have taken the most important step - admitting a problem and seeking help - seeking help for the right reason - that being YOU.

I don't even know you but I am VERY PROUD OF YOU.

Hang in there, remember the motto "one day at a time". Hold your head up high, you should be proud of yourself.

God Bless.

You really might want to think about AA. If that is not for you than laying it all down before God it the best thing. Pray for strength to get through each day. When you wake up pray for strength, when you feel sad pray for strength. When you go to bed thank God for giving you the strenghth. NEVER stop praying. In AA you are told to trust in a "higher power". They say it that way to not affend those who don't believe in God, because sobriety is so important. They don't want to scare poeple away. But lets face it, It's God. So by finding Him you have started your self on the right road to recovery from alcoholism. There are many references to God in AA however. Anyway, One of my favorites is one everyone should use for every problem they have and that is "Let go, and Let God".
You are never alone as long as you keep God with you. Be strong one day at a time. If you need be strong one minute at a time. You will never again be able to drink "normally" so just don't drink. If you want more info about AA or even just more fun sayings, I'll be happy to help you.
