Drug Rehab Portland
Who hath woe? Who has redness of eyes? Who has complaints? Who hath wounds without cause? Never forget the first time I read Proverbs 23:29. I had been drinking for many years at the time. The most frequent causes, alcoholic parents, not marriage, it was my fault, disabled and unable to earn a decent living, but the debts were piling up mercilessly. It seemed much easier to spend five dollars and buy a pack of twelve to try to do something more with my life.
I saw the effects of alcoholism in my family since the time I was very young. Dad came home and drink a few beers after work, but I did not think much in that time. I remember he gave me an occasional drink of his beer. I do not think that thought crossed his mind every time I like it, but I did. Blitz Weinhard beer, held in Portland, Oregon. That did not become my favorite when I was growing up, but I think had the best thirst quenching had bite never got a beer.
Anyway, I'm sure I found the story. I grew up and became an alcoholic bottom, paste, leaving smoking and lived happily ever after, right? Well, not exactly. In fact, I began to suffer physical symptoms that take too much in the first place, but that does not made me stop. My stomach hurt so bad all of a sudden I woke from a deep sleep. It was terribly painful and not allowed either. I began to suffer from tremons detoxin (tremors) when I had not had any alcohol that day. Mornings were not so bad at first because I was usually still drunk when I woke up but after she disappeared was shaking like a shirt on a clothesline in the wind. Not good.
I remember going through the outpatient rehabilitation, going to AA, quitting on my several times, but I still could not stop, nor do I want, somehow. You see, I was afraid. I had no idea who I really am was, what kind of person he was or what I liked and disliked. I was completely clueless about how to live sober. I had stopped drinking for 17 days 19, 27, 29, 36, 44, 64, 124 and now, almost three years, but always returned to her before. You see, I never had the strength to do on my own.
There prayed repeatedly for God to cure me either or me, but it was not until I finally had become really sick and tired of being sick and tired of my prayers were answered. Miraculously, it was when I was making a run at the liquor store. I went out with a bottle (who had graduated from the beer this time) and stopped at a phone booth to call my wife to see if I needed anything. There before me was a sheet of yellow paper that had Proverbs 23:29 on it. I had never read before and honestly did not even know the Bible even referred to drinking or alcoholism, but Solomon warned us right there with those words.
I decided not have much time after sober and give my life to God, as he did as a teenager. I know that the pamphlet placed there by someone who was on a mission to save others. I had noticed that there before, but never caught one and the time to read that day. I wonder if my brother or sister in Christ has no idea that saved my life that day? I wonder if they have any idea that God used to do? I wonder if they were able to save anyone else the terrible disease their efforts alcoholism? I look forward to the day you meet in heaven, give them a big hug and I'm finally willing to say "thanks."
