From Beer to Eternity: A Little Story of Addiction and Beyond

3.8/5 ( ratings)

THIS IS A STORY OF IMPOSSIBILITIES: an addict who couldn’t quit, but did; a marriage that could have ended, but didn’t; a man who seemed dead, but lived.

It’s the story of a nice guy’s sad journey into hopelessness, and the unexplainable, surprising change that God made.

The impossibility can become this major demon thing that haunts you and wants to own your life. It doesn't have to be alcohol—it can be almost any kind of urge you struggle with. Some of them feel like monsters, some like pesky gnats. We all can have a soup of temptations or addictions that are continually trying to boil over in all kinds of ways. It's a constant thing: Drink. Eat. Look. Buy. Click. Smoke. Touch. Stick. Snort. Cheat. Risk. Lie. Curse. Control. Gamble. Gossip. Get mad. Be selfish. Be bitter . . .

Strong urges and temptations seem like they have a personality, a voice. And it lies to you. It tells you, "You can't live without this...NOW." And you don't know it's lying until you live without it.

I believe I can't live without alcohol—-until I do.
