Celebration Midweek - June 10

I heard about a man who has not touched alcohol for 35 years after years of abuse.  He said that he thought of drinking every day when he called himself an alcoholic.  Things changed when he began saying "I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a child of God who doesn't drink." His temptation to drink began to diminish to the point where he doesn't think about drinking any more.  Can you relate?
