I thank you for your honesty about how God has helped you gain freedom again, Ali. What hope you give to those of us who fight these battles and feel so torn between our desire for God and the desires of our addictions.

Thank you for sharing your honest and transparent journey of working through alcohol’s role in your life. How wonderful it is to hear the Spirit’s voice as He reveals to us those things in our lives that might be hindering our relationship with Him or hurting us. I appreciate your willingness to share how you worked through the process and where you are today. Blessings.

by God’s grace, i found this post. i resonate and relate so much with your story. today, i started the Love Life Sober book. i feel afraid but hopeful… mostly afraid of failure, once again. but also hopeful that God has led me this far, and He won’t stop leading me now. your journey gives me hope that i can actually overcome this never-ending cycle. ❤️
