In this word there are a lot of challenges of many things that people have encountered, and still do. People struggle with addictions such as alcohol, and drugs.
When things became bad or discouraging for me, I turned to alcohol, and my faith became weak. I was at a point where I didn't care about myself or about others. I was at a point of having suicidal thoughts.
Years later when I became pregnant, I ate the right foods, and I stopped consuming booze. There was a time during my pregnancy where I was tempted to buy a bottle of booze, but the liquor store was closed.
I wrote Alice cooper about my experience with booze. I saw, and heard his story about the affects alcohol had did to him.

when my son was born, I had to stand up for what is right for me, and my child. I felt that I had to bring him in the Christian faith. I had back slid, so I got back onto my feet by not having booze in the apartment at all. There were a few occasions where I had wine coolers with a very small amount of alcohol in them.
Seven years later when my daughter was born, I had faced many challenges with her lack of eating, and sleeping disorders without the urge of having to drink any alcohol. I had to start standing for what I believe in which is Jesus Christ the lord.
