Well, it all started many years ago when I used to think alcohol gave me courage and confidence. Let me tell you, it doesn’t. So after many years of heartache and unhappiness, I met the love of my life, my soul mate. We were together for 3 years and if I’m being honest, those years were mostly happy and filled with love but also tragedy.

She lost her mom to cancer and I still drank. Then I lost my best friend and I still drank. She stood by me through all of this and we made a beautiful little cottage in the countryside. It was all I had dreamed of but the drink still crept in with it and the negative thoughts and feelings I let it in once more.

We were on holiday and I got a call saying my father had a couple of weeks to live. So I then returned home and I took care of my dad. He passed away and the drink was still present in my life. So I drove back to the cottage and was a bit drunk. That resulted in my girlfriend telling me that it was the last straw for her and that I had to go because it was really affecting her mentally.

It has been almost 4 weeks now since I have seen her but every day I see her in my heart and mind. At my father’s funeral, I met an old neighbor who I grew up with and he told me about The Secret. I have since read the book and am practicing gratitude, affirmations, and just asking and believing in the Universe for all that I want. I am also feeling like I already have what I want.

In many ways, I am a happier person now and I have not even thought about having a drink at all because I have changed my mindset into a positive force in the Universe. I believe the Universe will bring us back together and this time, our relationship will be full of love and happiness because I willed it, I asked for it, and I really believe that I already have it. So I know in my heart it will all come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Many thanks to all of you for reading my story and I hope this helps you. May God bless you all!
