Subject: Very helpful site
I just wanted to say that your article on "Living with Alcoholism"
was the most informative article on the subject I have ever read. I
know several people who are alcoholics and I just didn't get it. I had
such a hard time understanding the "why" it's such a problem
for them. I would think to myself ... Read

... I found myself being tied with a bondage I could no longer
take away from me. I then became addicted to alcohol. The longer I engaged
in it, the more bitter it became in my life. For so many years... I
longed to be free from it ... instead of clinging to my wife for the
cause of our marriage, I gave my faithfulness once again to my compadre
– alcohol. This is then where our marriage was wrecked, torn-apart,
and shattered. Whenever my wife would rebuke me of my drinking, then
she would have the taste of my fist. I keep on hitting her – I
hit, hit, hit, hit, hit her. Instead of becoming an ideal, she became
a battered wife. Many time she would spit blood from her mouth. Lots
of times she would find her nose bleeding. And it was countless times
that she would have felt the strength of my fist in her face. When my
wife was two months pregnant, I remember hitting her and she ...

Your paper on Christians and alcoholism was absolutely amazing.
Can you please send me another copy I accidentally erased it off my
computer, and would really like to show others
Thank you so very much,

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for the email. I'll print the booklet off of the internet
and have some printed. Last month I was on a cable TV program called
Powers to Be. I was interviewed about the homeless food program
we do. The gentleman who hosts the program came in a few weeks after
the filming and told me that the program got very good response.
I told him about a lady who has been helping with the food project.
She's been in recovery for two months, and is a vibrant, energetic,
intelligent woman. I said that she would be perfect for his program
(the program deals with social issues and health issues). He told
me that he doesn't interview people on the program any longer, and
that I should host the program for the evening. So, [a friend] and
I are going to host the program (we will film it this coming Sunday
night). We plan on offering the booklet to the public on the program.
Thanks for the permission to reprint it! This is great....
God bless you in all of your work,
In Christ,
Mike
I really must commend you on this information in this
book, it can only be God inspired, seeing I have been married to
an alcoholic for 25 years ,I have tried AA (4 weeks) and read all
books I could get my hands on but felt so lonely in this process
as it seemed i was the only one out there living in this "hell"
and no book really put the finger on it and I am just so astounded
as how accurate this info is in my situation, thank God I was saved
thoroughly (maybe my faith strengthened in this situation as I could
only turn to God) and was carried but often felt like the carpet
was pulled under me, I grew up in a very christian home with good
and solid morals and did not know drinking. Books can tell you this
and that but you need Godly and practical and scientific all in
one and that seems to be your aim. I am only about halfway but try
to really get it into my brain.
Thank you so much and I trust God will continue to guide you and
bless you,
