Raju | Sobriety

My story is about how God saved my life from alcoholism. I was a full-blown alcoholic. I used to drink 24/7. It didn't matter day, night, afternoon, or evening. I even drank on the job, while on break and when I was going home, I would stop at the bar to drink some more.

Jesus saved me. He broke my chain and set me free from the addiction to alcohol. I prayed to the Lord to take this addiction away from me.

One day I had enough of drinking. I kept praying to the Lord to free me. I remember that morning I went to the grocery store. I had $6 in my pocket. I was praying and praying to be free. I had to make a choice. I had to choose between buying eggs and bread or a bottle of 85% proof vodka.

I went into the store and on the right side of the aisle were the bread and eggs and on the other was the liquor. I turned to the right and picked up the bread and eggs, paid the cashier and walked out. And that was it.

From that second until today I am free from alcohol addiction. From that second, I walked out of the store, I have had no desire or temptation or any withdrawal.

Jesus truly freed me from my addiction to alcohol. It's been over 17 years and not one drop of liquor I've taken. When God sets you free, you are free indeed. You are a new person!

Praise the Lord for He is good and faithful all the time and I am free to worship and praise Him. Amen!"
