8 years… 2,920 days since I’ve had a drink of alcohol… 🤯🙏🏼😭 LONG POST ALERT

I battled for years: “I dont want to do this anymore, but I feel like I can’t NOT do it.”
~ Romans 7:14-25 that war between the spirit and the flesh…. 😮‍💨

I’d stop for a while and then fall again. It was a cycle and I hated it!

I created a habit of drinking and then I couldn’t quit. I drank…

For fun.
To numb.
When I was stressed.
To celebrate.
When I was mad or sad.
To feel enough.
To fit in.
To be socially accepted.
Because my whole family did.
And because it felt good… for a while

….until it wore off and then I was flooded with guilt and shame. 🫣 (The same enemy that temps you is the same on that condemns you when you fall)
over and over I repeated this cycle.

Until, I fully surrendered to God. 🏳️

All the times before, I was doing it in my own strength…. This time, I KNEW GOD WAS CALLING ME HIGHER. I KNEW he wanted me to get Sober. (He had been pulling at my heart for a long time)

I cried out, on my face before God, and told him if he would give me strength, I would never take another drink again! I meant it!

I fasted 3 days and binged my audio bible app! I stayed in prayer. I listened to sermons on strongholds and being made new in Christ (Derek Prince is my favorite teacher on strongholds and deliverance!)

Something shifted in the spirit!
I literally felt something break off me!

I realized too that this wasn’t just a physical habit… I came from a line of addiction and alcoholism… it was in my blood. Passed down like family features… I opened the door and the enemy smiled and came right in.

But GOD!!!

He brings freedom and restoration! Day by day he walked with me and healed my heart of brokenness and a false identity. He gave me confidence and joy! He filled every gap that used to be an excuse to drink, and I found FREEDOM!

One day at a time. I had to stop saying “I’ll try tomorrow” cause guess what; when you wake up in the morning, it’s TODAY. “Tomorrow” never comes… you will only find your power in TODAY! (I wrote this on my bathroom mirror)

8 years… 2,920 days since I’ve had a drink of alcohol & I give all glory to God! #Gx3

I wanted to share this to give HOPE to anyone struggling with any kind of addiction…. You can have FREEDOM and a NEW LIFE!!

I thought being sober would make me boring… FAR FROM IT! I have so much more fun now. I’m present, I remember all the details, I have deeper conversations and connections, I FEEL amazing, I train harder, I don’t have regrets, I’m not stuck in a selfish mindset, and I get to help other people on their walk with the Lord! That’s my favorite part! 🙏🏼

I knew to get where God was calling me, I had to lay down the things that were tripping me up and causing me to stumble.
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I’m SO THANKFUL!!
Jesus was my answer and my strength.
Prayer, the word, worship, training, and community were my tools.
And now I’m praying for FREEDOM for my entire family! Yes alcohol ran through our blood, but so does the Holy Ghost and evangelism 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 we get to choose!

If you’re sober and loving life, please share below! If you’re struggling and need prayer, please message me or drop a comment so we can all support you!

Be blessed!

This isn’t a trend; it’s a lifestyle of stewardship, discipline, and gratitude. Romans 12:1 
Our body is not your own. It’s a vessel—designed by God, for His purpose. Let every moment of rest, nourishment, movement, and stillness be a holy act of worship.
