- Alcohol
- Faith
I was full of pride and did what was best for me, even if it meant crushing others to get to the top. I was chasing anything that would let me fill the hole I had, whether it be money, women or alcohol. But nothing could fill the hole. Alcohol was becoming too close of a friend and it scared me.
One night as I drove home, I searched for the meaning of life and I didn’t see one. Without meaning, what was the purpose of living? I was considering how it would all end and how I could make it end. I turned on the radio and somehow it was on a Christian station, which was unusual. The song talked about hope in Christ and for the first time in years I felt the hole in my heart filling up. My life now has meaning and purpose. I discovered that my “old friend” alcohol was not really a friend and I haven’t been drunk since that night.
