I am Beth Livingston. I began drinking at age 12. Only my friends knew. By senior year in college, I tried every high that was offered and never got in trouble. I still got good grades; a functioning addict. By my 30s, I went to AA, but kept using. However, I did seek a relationship with Christ.

That made the difference - I am free today! This blog is for people to discuss whatever addictions or habits are hurting them, to exchange struggles and victories and to pray for each other.

Must You Call Me Addicted?

I never understood why we had to say we were alcoholics just because we drank a lot. I didn’t think I was addicted. In fact, I really thought I could quit any of those things anytime I wanted. I just chose to do them. But, when the time came that I did try to quit, I had trouble with each of them. Have you ever been there? Where you thought you could give something up when you chose to and then found out you couldn’t? Are you still there?
