The Driving Force of Life

Romans 7:15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.

No one plans to live a life where they are going to have to go into recovery.

When I first started drinking at the age of fifteen it wasn’t so I could become an alcoholic. I was having fun, I think! Because from the age of fifteen I don’t remember a lot about my drinking days. I was a blackout drunk basically from the beginning.

I drank to fit in, to belong, to be part of my circle of friends. I hated the taste of alcohol but loved the effect of not having to face up to myself of anyone else. Eventually, my life revolved completely around drinking and I felt that my life could never be any different because I couldn’t live without drinking. #Different #Drinking #Friends

What is the driving force of your life?

Prayer: Lord, help me today to put You in the right place in my life and to depend on You for everything.
