Do you believe alcoholism can be cured by the power of God?

   My, I seem to be on my high AA horse tonight, don't I?
   I do not mean to lecture.
   Jerami, I am always available if you want to talk about your experience with your wife.
   Earnest -- always learn from you, so glad to be able to teach YOU something new for a change, mate! MM

      Thank you MM.
      I have this urge to teach you may have noticed from my car hubs!
      I do like to learn more than teach though, and am lucky I have people like yourself to help with that part of me.
      
      My grandchildren teach me something new every day. They just came in to my room complaining of being hot. One said "It's the suns fault!" The other one offered "Put me on your shoulders granpa and I'll turn it off!"
      Not a bad sense of the ridiculous from a 5 year old!

      Thanks for the offer.  That happened a while back.
        i think that I have come to terms with everything on that front. 
        The most important advice I can give is to keep the communication completely honest and open under any and all circumstances especially when you don't like what ya hear.
      
        You will have many more regrets if ya don't.

         You've had some tough bits Jeremi. I hope it got or gets smoother along the way.
         Everytime I lose a friend or family member I get mad as hell at them for dying!
         Can't help it, it comes naturally.

            Life can be a roller coaster ride it seems.
              For some people more than others,   I can't complain.
              My life started off that way.  That's normal isn't it?

   Sin is yet another religious concept to allow religionists to feel superior, make indirect threats through their invisible friend, and display their megalomania by casting aspersions on the non believer like threats of hell and damnation.
   
   Alcoholism is a genetically related disease.

   In my experience, people who are cured of alcoholism by being "born again" simply trade one addiction for another. ~shrugs~
   
   Alcoholism runs in both my family and my husband's and both of us have somewhat addictive personalities, so we (separately) determined it's safer to avoid the stuff entirely and now jointly support each other in making sure our addictive tendencies are directed in healthy ways. Internet addiction remains a bit of a problem for me, but at least I've figured out how to make my living off it.
