Quote From: max_01Well,
What have you recovered from then? Alchoholism right? And you can't begin recovery untill you call it what it is. Admitting the truth is the first step. The moment you forget your illness will be the moment the illness takeshold again.
The moment an alchoholic denies that first step, they begin their slide back into addiction.
Staying true to one's addiction, and not clouding up with pretty names and the like, will allow the addict, alchoholic, smoker, etc. to take the next step towards sobriety.
When God delivers you from abusing alcohol, He is delivering you from the sin of "gluttony" Gluttony means doing anything in excess. It is not a sin to have a glass of wine before dinner or even to drink a beer every now and then. The sin is in excess. So you are delivered from the sin of gluttony.
I will go there before you do.........Yes, I am dealing with the sin of gluttony in my own life and yes I am in prayer, and counsel about it. I have full faith that with the prayers of my church family, friends, family and myself I will be delivered from this sin and overcome it.
