On July 3, 2006, I decided I was going to get drunk! And boy did I get drunk! The next day, I woke up on the couch, to the sound of my wife packing her bags. I asked her what she was doing and she said I had told her the night before that if she did not like the fact that I was drinking, that she could pack her bags and leave. And she was! As she was packing, I began to somewhat remember the terrible things I had said to her. Besides being extremely hungover, I had that terrible feeling in your stomach that you have when you know something terrible has happened. I asked her to sit down and talk to me. But there was no response. I was weeping and begging for her to stop packing and to stay. But the silence continued, along with the packing. I did not know what else to do but pray! I prayed with every ounce of faith I could muster up and pleaded with God, just for her to stop and talk to me. When I opened my eyes, she had stopped packing and told me she just had a feeling that we needed to talk. That day, was Independence Day for me, because God freed me from the bondage of alcoholism! For months the enemy attacked and I had nightmares about drinking. I even lost several friends because I refused to go to parties. I give God all the honor and glory, as He rightfully deserves. Amen!
