I believe God gave me the gift of sobriety to protect, love and cherish. It has protected me against taking a drink over the last 12 years. I know I can reach out to God in any hour of temptation , grasp that gift tightly, and ask that the thought of drinking be removed at once. It works for me. Therefore if I was to take a drink I would be throwing my gift back into God’s face, in a manner of speaking, which I have no right to do .I pray that you may reach out and accept that wonderful gift that I know God is extending. I know it available and is proof by the many  alcoholics who have received it and hold onto it with their life. What a blessing.
