Good mornin G-Papa John,
You hit the nail on the head my friend. I fig if it is meant to be I will go to Meryl Fest. Have you ever listened to Doc and Meryl Watson? Good "ole" time banjo-fiddle and guitar pickin'. It's a real love of mine. They do alot of the old time gospel music too.
My son was taking 'fiddle' lessons for almost a yr until recently-he just got interested in something else and that is one battle I choose not to fight. If he doesn't want to play fiddle right now maybe later.
As you said we have to turn our lives over to God as we know HIM to get better. I did that going on 18 yrs. ago-I got really drunk and checked in to a hospital for people like me-rehab. The physical I got showed I was almost having a stroke-the BP and electrocardiogram-was almost out the roof-but God had diff plans for me and I survived my last drunk. AMEN!A couple of times in the last 18 yrs. I have re-dedicated my life to HIM too.
I'm so happy for you-you have made that 1st critical step and you are working the program. the 1st yr. is so interesting after you turn your life over. Expect Miracles! I can tell you for sure God keeps HIS Promises too.
there is a book I love-I have passed it on to a dear friend who admitted his problem just before Thanksgiving last yr. but it called "Serenity-the 12 steps and scriptures that corrolate" It's published by Nelson Pub-the big Bible publishers-they have a site online now where you can order the book. It has the entire books of Proverbs and Psalms-and alot of the New Testament and how the scripture relates to recovery. Mine was very used and I hope it is helping my friend here. If I can ever be any help to you send me a message-or email-djd561@verizon.net. There are a couple of members here who are dealing with husbands who are trying to quit drinking-you know prob by experience that when we help others we help ourselves too.
It will be interesting to see if I end up "in the wind". I do miss riding-but my H was the love of my life and nobody except maybe a couple of our friends can ride like he did. He had good "english".
Easy Does It,
Always,
Deb ^J^

AMEN!
Prayer is the closest thing I feel to REAL safety. As I talk with our God and know that he is not judging me but loving me I feel such an enourmous gratitude! I will most gladly join your prayer group. I do have trouble remembering dates and times right now but I will do my very best to be there. I pray for PEACE AMOUNG US AND WITHIN US, AMEN...
