Alcohol and my identity

One thing I am really starting to realize how much family and friends associate me with alcohol. Everywhere I go lately, I am noticing how everyone asks me if I want a beer or a drink. And why wouldn’t they? That’s who I have been for 25 years.

Maybe its because I am now working on my sobriety that I have begun to notice it. Part of me feels like the devil is intensifying his attack. He knows that God is working through me and can’t stand it. But I feel strong. And God is providing me with that strength.

I want to thank all of you for sharing failings and successes. We are stronger together. I am praying for all of us. God Bless.

I also feel that I don’t even know my own self without alcohol. I first drank in my teens and thats 20plus years of drinking, I might be a totally different person without it.
