Maybe it was a couch for you. Most of us can think of a couch, chair, rug, car, dishes, etc. that we were not to touch. If it is the couch for you, perhaps you remember a grandparent that kept plastic covers, blankets or towels over the couch to protect it. Or the couch was in a whole room that you were not allowed to go into whether as a child or even as an adult. The protection for the couch may have been so extreme that even if your shadow moved across the couch, there would be trouble.

Colossians 2:13-17 The reality of rest is found in Christ!

There are a few ways that you can react after breaking something. One, you can hide yourself or the object. Two, you can try to fix it with duct tape because duct tape fixes everything. Three, you can blame someone else. Four, you can go to someone who can fix it. When we are broken though, we cannot fix ourselves. And when it comes to our broken sinful lives, not even duct tape will work; the one to run to is God.

Genesis 3:8-15 Run to God, not away from him, when you have sinned!

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.
