WORSHIPING ALCOHOL

“That special relationship with alcohol will always be there, waiting to seduce me again.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 397

“But be vigilant, lest you be seduced away and end up serving and worshipping other gods…” Deuteronomy 11: 16

For what it’s worth: My god was alcohol, the center of my life. I donated far more money and time to alcohol than any religion, so, obviously, I worshiped it. But I thought I was above such things once I stopped drinking in Alcoholics Anonymous. Such pride could have killed me. Being witness to many tragic relapses, I am fully aware of alcoholism's seductive powers. It can insidiously turn me away from all things I love, including God. And alcoholism would love to watch me die in the gutters of Baltimore with the cockroaches crawling all over my stinking body. Remembering how close I was to that sad ending, and knowing my defects still outnumber my virtues, I must stay close to my Heavenly Father today, humbly begging for His grace to stay sober and give Him the glory.

God bless you
Joe W.
