Glad the strength came to overcome a disastrous addiction. My brother in law told me he had to get out of the Navy before he became a drunk. He was the ex officer of a fleet tug in Japan and served two tours on a swiftboat, offshore, in Vietnam. On a goodwill tour in Japan he got so drunk he walked thru a glass door and did a naked trip to the hospital. That incident woke him up to what had to be done.
Congratulations on 30 years! Yes there is a God for sure! He came to me in a dream...let me start at the beginning. I have always been fascinated by the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-12). Truly he was God made man. Well a couple of years ago he appeared to me in a dream. The important part is that as he was speaking He turned to me and said regarding His appearance "Not really what you were expecting?" I was dumbfounded but what happened next was even more so. He transfigured himself. He became a light that was so intense and white yet it wasn't blinding or painful to look at. And a sensation of LOVE so intense that it is indescribable overcame me. As i was basking in the light and love I woke up.
I have no idea why I'm sharing this with you, I have shared it with a few people but never with social media but I was inspired. I'm sure by the same God that cured you of alcoholism and showed Himself to me.
Thank you for sharing Bryan. Congratulations on steering your own ship on the straight and narrow 30 years. I wish you the best in keeping your path going.
Very proud of you. I remember you telling me this story and I tell it often.
I was with Dad the day he decided to stop. Him and Mom had beeen in a huge fight like none other. We were coming home from work and didn’t speak a word. We got on to Marter Ave and he asked, “Do you think I’m an alcoholic?” I told him to thought he was. He nodded his head and said he’s stop. I asked if he was going to go to AA and he said no. I asked why and he said because he was embarrassed. He said he would stop and be did.
This is beautiful, Bryan. Happy July 1st to you. May your next thirty be as good to you as this last thirty. When folks write honestly and openly as you just did, I'm extremely grateful. Thank you, my friend.
Well done.
Much love to you, Bryan. I struggle with prayer. Reading this has inspired me to keep trying.
As they say in OZ "good on you"!!!
