My journey to complete freedom from alcohol is both interesting and unusual.

​

Like most people, I tried the usual well-known routes to recovery (AA and Celebrate Recovery), but here's the truth: neither of them worked. I've nothing against either of these programs, and it's entirely possible they didn't work for me because - maybe - at the time, years ago, I wasn't as ready as I thought I was.

​

Can you imagine how scared I was, at this point? Those were the only two things I knew to try at the time. And sadly, I was far too ashamed to go to my church for help. When was the last time I heard a pastor preach on the subject of addiction?

​

But God ...

​

God had different plans for me. REFUSING to give up on my quest for freedom, I surrendered my life to Him once again, vowing to follow and do whatever and whoever He led me to.

​

Spirit-Led Sobriety was written in obedience to God as soon as He delivered me and pressed upon my heart to do so. I believe there are far too many of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are silently struggling with the same guilt, fear, shame and self-loathing not only in church on Sunday mornings, but every day of their lives. They're doing everything they know how to do - and nothing's helping.

​

Spirit-Led Sobriety was written for YOU. When you allow yourself to be led by the Holy Spirit in the unique ways He has laid out for YOU - based on your life experience and how He's created you - there is no failure unless you just give up trying.

​

In addition to sharing my personal story of God's gift of repentance, redemption, deliverance and healing, I share the a great deal of information on the facts about alcohol - how it affects the brain and body, and why God's Word is THE way to find healing. The book concludes with an exhaustive list of resources to help you.

​

My journey combines a lot of childhood and young adulthood trauma, some really bad decisions on my part, years of pain and suffering, coming face-to-Spirit with God, developing a super-close relationship with Him for many decades ... only to experience the proverbial 'fall from grace' as a result of one very bad decision followed by my big, stupid sin.

​

But the great news is, God is our Redeemer, Restorer and Master Renovator. He has given me a magnificent comeback story, and He will do the same for you when you put Him first in your life. (Acts 10:25-37, Romans 2:11-16, Proverbs 3:4-6, Jeremiah 29:11-12)

​

Through the gift of repentance and a renewed relationship with God, He taught me about what the world calls "addictions", from HIS perspective.

​

My logical mind needed to understand how this happened to me, seemingly overnight. I began years of researching and educating myself, and ultimately learned:

​

Spirituality = transforming & renewing my mind

Science = "neuroplasticity", i.e. the brain's ability to rewire itself through new thoughts and actions.

​

Remember ... God is the Creator of all things, including science. It's when someone tries to elevate science over its Creator, that problems ensue.
