“Demon Whiskey”

Categories: RELATIONSHIPS, SELF
I am afraid of the end time; I don’t want to die and go to hell.  I don’t want to burn forever.  I want to wage war on the evil new world order.  I am with sin and am lost on a path which once was clear.  I know Jesus Christ, but I am consumed by hatred.  My judgement is clouded by alcohol; I love my girl and my family so much; I feel like a piece of paper that can be folded no more.  I hope it isn’t too late for me; please help me.  I don’t know how to repent.

Sincerely,
Battling Demons

Dear Battling Demons,

We've thought very long and hard about how to answer your question, and the more we think about it, the more we cannot give you any answer that the alcohol wouldn't corrupt.  You've got to get help.  God talks about the destructive effects of alcohol in Proverbs 23.  Alcohol brings sorrow, anger, suffering, and health issues (Pr 23:29-30).  Alcoholism is such a horrific disease because it deceives you into thinking that one drink (or one more drink) will make life easier... but it never does (Pr 23:31-32).  Alcohol distorts our view of life and perverts our emotions (Pr 23:33).

You need a new beginning.  We would be happy to help you find support in your area and a facility to help you start fresh.  Until then, you won't be ready to handle the other issues of life.  It isn't too late.  You can conquer this.
