01 What it was like

At first I thought it was fun, then it was fun with consequences, and then it just became a downward dark spiral of just consequences.

Mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally dying.

02 What happened

Mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally dying. Break ups, bad decisions, heartaches, pain, falling, blackouts, depression, DUI, sadness, madness, sickness, and suffering.

Then I thought I was going to physically pass out and die. In desperation, I was terrified, and I prayed to God, "If you let me live, I will quit drinking." I was miraculously saved, lived, relieved of my addiction. I surrendered. It was no longer fun or cute anymore. This was serious. I was dying..

03 What it is like now

I'M FREE!! I feel amazing! I'm living a purposeful life and fulfilling my dreams. I have a second chance at a life without depending on alcohol.
