I was raised and taught to love Jesus my whole youth. My home was stable. My dad was an alcoholic but never let it effect his business or us kids. I was a good kid til I hit my teenage years then I started doing some drugs and drinking, partying with friends...
I then married right after High School and we both partied together. The drugs and the drinking eventually got worse and I ended up in treatment at the age of 28. My husband and I both gave our hearts to Jesus after that. We attended AA and stayed sober for almost 13 years.
The enemy is sneaky and very patient! I let my guard down and started drinking some again. I then struggled off and on for many years. Most of the time still attending church, trying to be who God wanted me to be. I would sometimes stay sober for a couple of years but would then fall back again. During this time God had always been with me. He protected me and others while I would drive drunk. But He did allow a series of very scary events to happen that were horrible for myself and family. That was when I really surrendered!
It's been a journey back to my Heavenly Fathers arms since then. It's been 2 1/2 years since that fateful time. Together, God and I drew a line in the sand and will never go back. Alcohol was a prison for me. It became my God, but never again! I've since then been baptized for the second time. I am a new person in Christ!
I've still had some problems, but never have I gone back to that dreadful time when alcohol and the devil owned me. I am free! It's never too late to start over and you can start over as many times as needed. Although I highly recommend you just stay with Jesus and follow Him. Only then are we truly free!!
