I'm giving my name here. I grew up in a family destroyed by alcohol, and have prayed for brothers and sisters whose lives have been wrecked by it, some who continued to drink till they died. It broke my heart to live in the city of Boston and watch one of my neighbors get sicker and more frail by the month due his drinking. The results of drinking have broken my heart many times and continue to. I'm crying as I write this, just thinking of these precious individuals. The person I referred to above regarding the misunderstanding was discipled by you. I think you know who I mean. I have no desire to defend my right to drink. That's not what I'm about. The last piece above regarding 'partaking' was referring to the toasting example. To tell you the truth, even if I do something like that, which doesn't even happen at every special occasion I attend, it is a sip. I abstain from any more for a whole variety of reasons, including health and the reasons you shared above. Am I still defending my right to drink? I certainly hope you do not think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953179513690801726.post-328539250511093252014-01-02T23:00:59.227-05:002014-01-02T23:00:59.227-05:00Does this include joining a toast a few times a ye...Does this include joining a toast a few times a year at a wedding or special event? That is about the extent of my drinking. I believe I have just run into a major misunderstanding with someone on this, and may have been categorized as a bit of a lush. That couldn't be further from the truth. We have to be SO careful. We can hurt each other in the body so much by assuming more than is true of people we know. Sometimes we are not clear about explaining things and that lends itself to a great degree of misunderstanding, too. I am guilty of the latter in this case. I believe there is a great difference between having freedom to join a toast at a wedding and being casual about drinking. I am definitely not casual about it, and fully recognize that if a brother or sister who was in recovery was sitting within sight of me partaking, it would be an abuse of "freedom" to partake.

I know this must have been sooo difficult, if nothing else just having to face the medical establishment but it seems God had His hand even in that for you. That is huge to me.

It's not always like that, we have an anesthesiologist in our family, now that he's been in practice for a while I wonder if he's still the same sensitive person. I do know he has (had) such sweet concerns about sweet patients in the beginning he would share with us. What a Gift your anesthesiologist was! A Gift from God.
