“I suddenly realized that I was locked in a vicious cycle of cynicism and arrogance. On the one hand, I was deeply disappointed by the Christian faith which had failed to save me from alcohol. Why believe that the God who almost let me sink will save me, now and in the future? On the other hand – and this was quite ironic – I assumed that my Christian background qualified me as a spiritual expert. If what I had been taught was true, if alcoholism was indeed a spiritual problem that required a spiritual solution, I was in a good position: I had God in my pocket. But my pockets seemed empty. »
When the call of the bottle or the minibar is irresistible to the point of leading you into a spiral of manipulation, lies and dissimulations, when you are supposed to have the solution to your problem but it does not work, when you see your son sinking himself into alcoholism and drugs… what could be more terrible? What to do ? How can you still believe in or pray to your God?
