Disciple of Prayer
I have court coming up for a second dui. I've had lengthy periods of sobriety but have relapsed due to not addressing my emotional issues that have led me to self medicate with alcohol. I've started attending AA meetings daily often twice daily. I'm working with a sponser, made so many supportive friends in AA. I've come closer to God just learning to lean on God and ask for guidance and strength. I started seeing a therapist and psychiatrist to get the root of my issues which lead me to relapse. I joined an alcohol abuse therapy program and group therapy. I have a 14 month old baby that I want to have a sober mother. I want this, but I fear jail would deter this path I'm on and even possibly break my spirit of hopefulness that I'm just now developing. I fear (am terrified of) Jail or anything the would take me away from my baby. She is the light of my life and every joy. Please pray the judge sees my earnestness of comittment to following this Path of recovery and commitment to learning a way of life that led ds itself to lasting sobriety. Please pray he has compassion and mercy in his heart to allow me to continue on with my sponser and fellows in AA that have become my close friends and confidantes. I've just recently learned how to be vul erable and ask for help and they have been so gracious and generous with it. They genuinely want me to have what they have, sobriety and whole new life opened unto them through Christ and only with his help. Please pray the judge doesn't view me as a hopeless case with no alternative but to put me jail or inpatient therapy. Please pray he gives me the opportunity and allows me to continue being a full time mother in recovery with AA and outpatient therapy. I trust god's will. Please pray my request.
