well, my take on it is this, if your a christian, your life is alot easier, less termoil, relationships are better, overall good feeling, the belief that one day you will be with loved ones again in some way, etc. If I'm wrong, well, I didn't lose anything.....
My post deosn't reflect the depth of my religion, it's written to be somewhat light and funny for a Mon morning. In reality, I've seen hell, alcohol and drugs took me there. Myself, being clean and sober for 7 years now, I couldn't have done that by myself, Some can, I couldn't. I truey believe that after seeking help from my 'higher power", I was given the gift of sobriety.
