I have a dear friend of mine who is currently struggling with alcoholism. Last week he relapsed and is now in one of the best rehab centers in the U.S. My friend's name is Dave and I'll leave it there. He's a very good man who happens to have and addiction to alcohol. He happens to work here with me. He is very good with his job and everyone here thinks the world of him, but I believe this time, he's hit bottom. He may very well lose his job, the respect of his kids and who knows what. We all are trying to help him out as much as possible and are saying prayers all the time. I talked to him this morning and told him its time to realize that he needs to take a new approach to life and that he definetly needs God in his life. I think he realizes is now and is prepared to make the change. I just would appreciate any other prayers my friends here could say for him. You can never have too much prayer.
Thanks, Glenn

My former boss was an alcoholic, and it was very difficult working with and for him. He hit bottom when he was literally 2 hours from death from liver disease. Thanks only to God, he recovered, and it changed his life completely. He never had another drink for the rest of his life. It's a tough way to get through to a person Glen, but God knows what God is doing. I hope and pray that Dave has hit that spot in his life.
