Lesson #29: Drinking Again...

So...I broke my no drinking streak this last weekend. I gave in and had some wine. And the coolest thing happened...I was not impressed at all by having a few glasses of wine. I didn't like the taste, I didn't like the way it made me feel, and I definitely didn't like the way I felt the next morning.

After 12 months of no drinking, I had been contemplating whether or not to drink. I thought about it and thought about it...and quite frankly wanted to do it for the wrong reasons. But this past weekend wasn't for the wrong reasons...there was no pain, tiredness, or stress that I was trying to ignore...AND God was simply in control. I believe He has truly changed the desires of my heart. I could have easily kept on drinking the rest of the weekend and had the opportunity to. I simply didn't want to or feel the need to drink after that.

I'm glad I got the need to "test out drinking" out of my system. Thank you God for showing me that You are all I need.
