I set up this site to be available to struggling alcoholics, and those newly in recovery, so that they may realize that there is hope for continued sobriety and hope for a different way of living. My intent is to discuss various topics related to my recovery. I wish to freely discuss my experience and hope so that perhaps at least one person can take away a positive message related to recovery so it may help them or someone they know who is struggling with alcohol addiction. My wish is that visitors offer a message of hope by providing feedback on each topic. I believe, together with God, we can make a difference in peoples lives who are suffering.

It has been months since I have published anything on this site and I do apologize. You see, after a couple of years of having this site up and running it has only generated one follower, whom I appreciate feedback from very much. This month happens to be the time for annual subscription renewal for this site. Statistics compiled shows that I get a fair number of visitors on a monthly basis. The cost to renew is minimal however I found myself questioning whether or not I should maintain this site. I have done a lot of praying about it and I feel God has revealed to me that it is important to move forward in my quest to reach out to the struggling or newly sober alcoholic that may run across this site and get some benefit from it. My wish is that it does just that and also reaches out to persons struggling with addiction in their families, in that it may give some insight on why alcoholics like myself behave the way we do when drinking and to show that there is hope for recovery . So I would like to try to be more diligent in posting new topics on a regular basis. It keeps me sober in doing so and by keeping the site up it may make a difference in a persons life even though i may not realize it and perhaps that is how it is meant to be.

In the past months before the holidays I created a channel on YouTube titled ‘Lets Stay Sober Together”. My intentions were to spin off of this site and discuss topics in a recorded or live venue. I only have received a handful of views and I haven’t “vlogged” for a couple of months now because of that. Here again is where God has let me know that a few views is better than no views. He has revealed that it is not important that I know how many persons I may be impacting rather that the importance of being available to those who are struggling. So I will move forward in that regard as well.

I really enjoy do this and if you would like to be a follower of this site that is great and if you don’t that is okay too. I am going to keep the site up and do my best to help others as well as myself.

In addition to the YouTube channel, I do have a dedicated email address — ( sobertopics@gmail.com ) — that is available to contact me if you wish to suggest future topics of discussion for this site or for YouTube or just to provide feedback. I would be grateful to hear from you. I still believe we can make a difference together in reaching out to alcoholics just like us. Thanks for reading this update and I will post a new topic soon. May God bless you as he has me.
