Word, I had no clue what they meant. I felt there must be something

in the Bible, because everybody kept talking about the Word.

When we returned home from our first counseling session, we

emptied all the alcohol in the house, as directed by the pastor, but it

did not make sense to me because Leroy’s flavor was Wild Irish Rose.
He did not drink the expensive liquor we were pouring down the
drain. He stopped by the liquor store every morning after leaving his

night shift job.

The next day, Leroy met me as I was leaving work, to pray with
me. I was shocked and did not quite know how to handle it. I went

with the flow because we had another session in two weeks, and we
were also leaving for the Bahamas shortly. It worked for the next two

weeks, until the next counseling session.

At the next session, I knew it would be the last session because I

started debating with the pastor. The pastor felt the only cure was
going to be through the Word. I told him that I knew God also

provided people to help others in need, such as doctors. I was just not
feeling him, especially when I felt he was shoving the Bible down my

throat.

We were scheduled to fly to the Bahamas two days later. On the

day before the trip, I arrived home to find Leroy pissy drunk. He knew

I was angry. When he saw how angry I was, he added insult to injury
by starting to read the Bible. I was thinking, The Pastor said to read the
Bible before you get drunk, fool.
