I remember waking up at five a.m this time of year from drinking too much and being thirsty scraping myself off my bed to go get some water or chug back another can of Canadian.
Now when I wake up in the morning this early it’s because I slept so good the night before and am hungry for the new day.
I used to loathe the early hour because it was only a few hours since I passed out drunk.
I couldn’t stop when the case or six pack was done I’d want more til I actually not be able to drink any more. I was a glutton and a sloth.
I was going to give my body and soul over for the cost of drunkenness and forsake my devotion to God. I abused alcohol instead of calling on the strength and grace of the Lord.
Yes, life on day 89 at five in the morning does me good remembering how far I’ve come in this past three months of being reborn.
Thanks be to God that I picked up that AA book from the free book box that day and read it when I was done kicking myself around with addictions.
I give myself entirely to my Creator to make it thru today and make it to tomorrow sober and safe.
Thanx for listening. I’m Jessica and I’m an alcoholic.
