How the lord saved me

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but feel like telling someone

I have struggled with addiction for years
Drugs and alcohol ruled my life and no matter I just couldn’t quit
I had to have something in my system all the time and for the last year I managed to reduce it down to just alcohol sadly it was a lot and it kept getting worse
I was angry I couldn’t quit and didn’t know where to turn so I started going to church at night sitting by the door and praying for sobriety
One night I prayed for the lord to take my desire to drink away
The next day after work I came home and stared at the bottle
I didn’t need it anymore
2 weeks later I thought I’d try a drink to see if it was a just luck and I didn’t like it
I liked the taste but the feeling was horrible and I couldn’t sleep that night

I’m still far from a perfect Christian but I like to think I’m getting a step close slowly

Please don’t use this as advice Im not saying you’ll magically be saved
but for some reason I was and I’m so thankful to the lord for that
