Not Counting Days Anymore

I've stopped counting days. January 14 was 5 months alcohol-free for me.

There are days when I don't think about alcohol. They are few, though.

But it's OK.

 Now when I have the urge to drink I'm trying to think about the WHY. And I'm going to the Lord for the answer.

The Lord showed me that He wants the energy and attention and the NEED for alcohol to be redirected to Him. He wants to be the answer in my life.

Alcohol was never intended to be the answer.

He is a jealous God and anything that takes my attention off Him - well, let's just say He will do ANYTHING required to get me back.

How wonderful.
