It was a few months into my sobriety, back in 2004, that my faith in God began to return. For many years prior, in active drinking, I had lost faith. I believed God was punishing me for my way of living and the only time I reached out to him was when I begged him to let me die, which was everyday.  I am grateful that he must of had other plans for me.

My faith today is very strong. He is always there for me during the day when I need to commune with him. I believe that he is listening and loves me. For those of you struggling with active addiction , I say he loves you too and the gift of sobriety will be granted to you if you extend your hand out to him. I you are one in sobriety who finds your self struggling, just reach out for God’s hand and know you have been chosen to live a better way than  you did in  active drinking. I know its tough but just believe and you are going to be given the greatest gift of your life. God bless you!
