...A couple weeks ago;I bought me a bottle of something I shouldnt have-vodka...In the past;I have had trouble with alcohol;but I mistakenly assumed a little bit was ok for me....Im not addicted;but let me tell ya about :sadwalk:it...I mixed me up a drink last Saturday,wasnt going anywhere;so I assumed it was A-OK...WRONG_O!!!:(My old Mr.Nasty temper surfaced again-I started having BAD thoughts about EVERYTHING and EVERYONE-started snapping at my wife;and our dog...Went to bed;and woke up thinking about the incredible a$$ I made of myself Saturday night-Sunday;I apologized to my wife for being stupid-THEN;I POURED THE REST OF THAT ALCOHOL DOWN THE DRAIN...Beer or wine(in moderation)does not affect me like that-
the LORD sure opened up my eyes on that one-I DONT NEED THAT STUFF-I got way too much to lose fallin into that slime-pit again..Thanks for listening;and for being here!AMEN!!!:thumbup::clapping:
 
take one drop or they'll want more and more as satan will see to that. He was rejoicing for awhile because of your drinking but Praise God and Thank You, Jesus, that he is now slinking away with his tail dragging! Satan can never control anyone when they quickly turn to God and admit they did wrong and even to their wife and dog. Ya did say you're sorry to your dog didn't ya? :D God forgives so let Him and also forgive yourself and don't let this dwell in your mind or soul accept to remember not to do it again! You did great!!! :clap: :clap: I'm proud of ya!

:angel:

God Bless!

Takes a real man to share from the heart like that! I bet if you got rid of all alcohol use, you would not miss it at all! Plenty of fun to be had without it! God bless ya buddy! :)
 
I have been sober since 1989. No desire for the stuff of any type (hard stuff, beer or wine). I stay away from places that might give me reason to think crazy thoughts like "only one drink" or "It's been a long time you deserve a little" or even the lie of the devil "Well God says all things in moderation is ok so go ahead but be moderate". Nope, not going to listen to that kind of talk in my head. I remember where I have been and I know it could be - and certainly would be - worse if I let Satan have his way by listening to his lies.

I am glad you were quick to pull your hand back away from the fire and run to God for forgiveness.

Ya have to listen to the Holy Spirit when He says "don't do it". Sometimes easier to not listen and do things our own way but we find out sooner or later we should have listened to God's voice - not that of the lying devil.

Will pray you stay away from that stuff - and be even quicker to listen to the voice inside that guides you along the path of righteousness.
 
It is nice to go into a store;and not have to get some kind of alcohol to inhale every time I go...I learned my lesson-an occasional glass of wine;or can of beer will do it for me...As for over-doin it on the hard stuff...:thumbdown:
 
people were talking to me, I could hear them but could not speak or move...nice guys that they were (military) they went off to another party leaving me like that.

With beer I don't stop. I get stupid and do my W.C. Fields impersonations then after that I go blank...what I have been told I did in that state scared me but not enough to keep me from drinking again and again.

Hard liquor - well never mix beer drinking with hard liquor...the room spins out of control and so does the stomach. One time I woke up at 4 AM in the morning, still wearing my dress blue Air Force uniform that I was to wear to sign in the next morning to a new base...in my sleep I had vomited all over the front of the uniform. Lucky I didn't choke on it in my sleep. Anyway no dry cleaners are open at 4 am and the uniform is dry clean only...I went to the base laundromat and washed it in a regular washer and dryer...not a good thing and pity the poor person who used the machine after me....yet that still did not stop me from drinking.

The loss of my first marriage is a result of my drinking and stupidity.
Shortly after I had the final divorce decree in one hand and my papers from the government telling me I no longer had a job left me with only one thing to do...get drunk. After 8 beers I stagered to another bar and called a friend and went to Alcoholics Anonymous the next evening. The last drink I had was Oct. 13, 1989. Not messing around with that stuff ever again. No one can pay me enough to do that to myself and my loved ones ever again. As they say Too soon old - too late smart.
 
God has performed miracles in your life! To go back into satan's den is a no-no but if he could he would drag you back down to his level! I'm glad you have a nice family and are serving the Lord! Praise God and Thank You, Jesus, for your love, mercy and grace! :angel:

God Bless!

and it isn't til one is so deep in trouble that he looks around to see God is nowhere to be found...until we cry out to Him to save us from our mess. God's grace then sets us free and hopefully we get back on the right track with God. That isn't always the case as is pointed out in the Word that some will return to that sin like a dog returns to its vomit...and once the demons has been cast out, it departs for a sesaon then rturns to find its home cleaned and swept out and it returns with even more worst than himself.

I am not willing to do that and give place in my heart, mind or body for demons to take over or to return to my vomit like a dog.

Those 'test' the waters, tempt 'fate'...actually they are seeing if a 'little sin' is ok. We all know there is no little sin.

In Jesus name, I pray for those who are tepmted and tested, that they shall overcome the trials and give glory and honor to God.
 
:lol: bet he can't get the wife to lick him on the face or wag her tail :rofl: - maybe that is why pets forgive more easily. (And let's not go to where that tongue has been) :rofl:
