That is not a typo, you read it right. That is the last day I thought I needed a chemical to help me deal with life. My chemical of choice was alcohol. I have learned a lot in the last 3 years. Here is what I have learned just in the last year: 1. Faith is a noun and a verb. 2. God loves me no matter what. 3. It is ok to ask for help. 4. Asking for help keeps me humble. 5. It took a long time, but I now know who I am. 6. It is ok for me to be a human being, that is who God made me to be. 7. It is ok for me to say "no". 8. I have the tools I need to battle the devil. 9. I have courage I never thought I had. 10. I have serenity. Thanks for letting me share, Jacy
