If I could have stopped drinking on my own power, I would have.
I had tried to stop drinking over and over again for many years. I thought I “needed” alcohol. When I finally surrendered the alcohol and its hold on me to God, and asked Him to help me, He lifted that obsession.
A miracle.
I was pretty much “struck sober” 7,718 days ago. When I say struck sober, I mean that it was an instantaneous lifting of the obsession for alcohol. I had prayed for many years for God to help me stop drinking, but I really didn’t want to stop.
I had to say to God, “Ok, I am finished with this insanity. Help me. I am ready for you to take it.”
On my knees. Praying. Gone.
When days went by without drinking, then weeks, then years—I realized this was a miracle.This miracle I received was evidence that God was real.I had not done this on my own.
It opened my eyes to LOOK for the evidence of God’s miracles all around me. I just have to gather evidence. It is there. All I have to do is look to confirm—
• A sober me.
• Watching a friend get sober and stay sober.
• Death happening and not having to drink over it and showing up for another who needs me.
• Telling my sober story and having that make a difference for someone else today.
I am evidence of God’s miracles.
You can be too.
Ask for God’s help.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Matthew 7:7
