Isn't that just - I don't know - SICK? In a way a person like that is almost incapable of ever becoming free from that only JESUS can do it for them., but pride often gets in the way, fear too.

My cousin eventually got divorced from her ( he did stick with her for a very long time ) but he too is an alcoholic and just will NOT quit, he does not want to, I've tried, many have tried, he refuses to even listen., i told him MY story that if I could do it he can too, I gave him my ph# to call me, he never did., he is also seriously diabetic!
Dead man walking.
My GOD! to me, that is twice as bad., 'because there IS a remedy, but the person will NOT take it., they would rather STAY like that!? He insists that that is his personal right.

I know that when I was an alkie, I always wanted to in my heart/soul quit, but couldn't., [you'd have to be there to know, its like demonic possession of sorts]., and I know more than I ever thought I ever would., about that particular topic.

BUT moreover I KNOW TRUTH! I know that miracles still happen I am one., He was watching over me all along, and did not let me do something so horrific [in all the times I was DWI, I never went to jail either] as has happened to others He spared me and others, a guilt that would probably have done me in., THAT's how much He loves me!

"HE WHOM THE LORD SETS FREE IS FREE INDEED", praise GOD!
I have never been an acoholic, but have been around it growing up, friends who were drunks, and I have worked in a treatment program in my old church, but what I saw, what I have lived is drinking is a weakness of the spirit, and there are those who say they don't want to be healed, but I think fear drives them....facing life without the shield of a drunken stupor it too much to face.
