There is Always a Beginning...

Yes, there is always a beginning, and I've had many. I have tried so many things to change my life, but have never made it to the finish line. I can't promise that this time will be any different, in fact in many ways I doubt that it will be. I'm afraid to say that though, as it want it so badly.  At 47 years old I was shocked to find that I'd hit my highest weight ever, 321 pounds. I was on several medications, had declining health, I was drinking heavily and just felt that I would never get control over these things that were keeping me prisoner in a body of fat and misery. Now, 30 days later, I've been granted a reprieve, it's a daily reprieve, but it's a reprieve non the less. One day at a time I am turning over these addictions to God as I understand him, and each day I've been able to stay abstinent, and sober. 30 days has made a huge difference. I dropped 26 pounds down to 295, and went down almost 2 sizes in clothes! I'm off my blood pressure and cholesterol medications. I'm starting to have more energy. I know I still have a long way to go, and it's going to take probably a couple of years, but I am ready and willing to continue on this path I've started down. This journey has not been easy, but with the 12 step programs I've had the support I need to keep moving forward. God is doing wonders in my life and I plan to stay around to see the miracle. It's never to late to begin again.
