Every Year I Got Worse Editor Feb 04 : 15:17
My life before the kingdom was a long endless road of misery with my addiction.
At the age of eighteen I was baptized into Christ, but even as a disciple I fell short with my drinking. As a result of my not dealing with my addiction I found myself drunk in bars and strip clubs trying to hide the fact that I was still drinking. All of this was going on while I was a disciple. I started attending the Chemical Recovery group soon after, but dropped out in 1999. A year later I was back to drinking even to the point of getting drunk in the house with my roommates. I grew very deceitful until I finally realized how I was hurting God and myself. I went back into the CR ministry earlier this year and just recently graduated. Now I have a new life again as if I'd been rebaptized, starting all over again. At the age of 23, I can see more clearly how ugly I became as a result of my drinking. I can finally live a clean and sober life, as I learn from my past mistakes. I am grateful that God allowed me to go through all of this because it's taught me to be strong and persevere. I have also learned that God's power is truly made perfect in man's weakness.
