In 2012, I got sober from alcohol through the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. In this recovery process, I began to see how God could work in my life every day if I trusted and had faith. Back before I got sober, I was full of fear, anger, and resentment. As I continued on my road of recovery from alcoholism, I began to notice a change in my life. I wasn’t so quick to get angry and hold resentments towards people. Shortly after I got sober, my wife that I was married to for 25 years did not want to be married to me anymore and asked for a divorce in 2014. In 2016, I met my wife that I am with today and we are both on this same path of recovery and wanting to follow Jesus. In 2023 my wife and I were invited to attend a Bible study when we lived in Florida. Learning about the gospel, really began to reinforce a lot of the things that I learned in my recovery and Alcoholics Anonymous. We moved back to Connecticut from Florida in 2025 and have been going to a couple of different churches trying to connect with a group to stay in the word. My wife and I both want to be baptized and have made plans a couple of times to be baptized, but there was a couple of issues that were going on that we weren’t able to do it on the dates they were holding baptisms. I began to really recognize my sin when I started studying the Bible and participating in groups in the churches. Now I understand that I need more help, staying away from sin. I know now that I have a new life in Christ and that seems to be easier for me to recognize sin and stay away from it. How has my life changed since knowing Jesus as my Savior? I feel like I have more peace in my life and it’s much easier for me to communicate with other people.
