Bottle of booze by Bruce Wadd
The bottle had been lying there for a while. It still had the remnants of drink lying in the bottom. I wondered what stories, what dreams, what expectations, what frustrations… were poured down the neck of the willing participants.
What are you running away from? What is so unbearable that you just can’t face it?
Here’s a secret… You might find hidden beyond this most awful thing you’re not wanting to face your biggest growing opportunity yet!
Yes, you have the option of running away, of soothing the pain… one more time. But you could also face the truth. Just share it with God – cry, scream, stamp the ground, write, and create… if you need to!
Do whatever you need to do to tell God what is within. He will have hidden somewhere within this awful reality your next learning adventure!
It is a broken spirit you want - remorse and penitence. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not ignore. Psalm 51:17

Am I trying to say that alcohol is wrong? No. But anything that distracts
us from the realities of our lives is under serious threat of becoming an
addiction.
