My story is a journey that took me from darkness to Light. It was only through Faith in the One True Power, the Loving Unseen--that’s everywhere and all around--that my life became abundant and radiant.
I was desperate for the approval of others even as a child. I searched for meaning, purpose, and what I thought was success in the material world. I found nothing of substance.
If I were to use one word to describe my life, it would be “alcohol.” Most of my life has centered around active alcoholism and Recovery—and skirting death. I started drinking in my early teens and was an alcoholic before graduating from high school. Material achievement and my identity was based on who I thought I should be and on my career, instead of who I really am. I led a double life - one of outward success and inward misery.
I’ve had many dark hours and many bottoms. Eventually, my alcoholism brought me to a place where I lived in my own self-created mental prison of misery and self-loathing. I was unable to quit drinking! Then one day… On my daughter’s birthday I dreadfully wanted her to have one special day without her drunk mom! But, how? How was I going to make it through that one crucial day without drinking? I was so broken. I felt shattered. Terrified and traumatized. I could not stop drinking no matter how hard I tried!!
I decided that birthday was my last birthday with my daughter.
Death was near. I would either kill myself quickly through suicide or through the slow suicide of alcoholism. Then on that magical morning, I cried out to this Power greater than myself - the God of many names - the One True Radiant Light, the Divine Intelligence that is. If only He could keep me sober…just this one day….
I frantically attended an online Recovery Meeting. Something absolutely magical transformed me! I received true Guidance and the gift of sobriety on my daughter’s birthday! And we CELEBRATED! I’ve been sober ever since. I battled alcoholism for 30 years. Today, I’m in Recovery and I treat my alcoholism every single day. It’s miraculous I survived at all.
Today I can say that I have had a dramatic Spiritual Experience and Spiritual Awakening. Today I have a Loving relationship with a God of my understanding that is wilder and more beautiful than anything I could have imagined on my own.
