This is just one of the patterns that keeps repeating itself over and over again. Throughout the book, Judy details the struggles she endures growing up in an alcoholic family.

Download or read book It Was Me All Along written by Andie Mitchell and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A yet heartbreakingly honest, endearing memoir of incredible weight loss by a young food blogger who battles body image issues and overcomes food addiction to find self-acceptance. All her life, Andie Mitchell had eaten lustily and mindlessly. Food was her babysitter, her best friend, her confidant, and it provided a refuge from her fractured family. But when she stepped on the scale on her twentieth birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds, she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake. It Was Me All Along takes Andie from working class Boston to the romantic streets of Rome, from morbidly obese to half her size, from seeking comfort in anything that came cream-filled and two-to-a-pack to finding balance in exquisite (but modest) bowls of handmade pasta. This story is about much more than a woman who loves food and abhors her body. It is about someone who made changes when her situation seemed too far gone and how she discovered balance in an off-kilter world. More than anything, though, it is the story of her finding beauty in acceptance and learning to love all parts of herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James F. Coker was born in Thomaston, Georgia. He grew up there but left at an early age. He was in the United States Air Force S.A.C. division. This took him to a number of foreign countries when he was still at a young tender age. But running with experienced well-trained troops taught him more about life that he was even ready for. Growing, living, and working in an environment of this sort can create loads and loads of true stories. Getting to where Jim is today is but the tip of the proverbial ice berg. The following is one of those stories. Though based on a true story, some of the additives are intended to enhance the story and give it a bit of luster and a better reading.
Download or read book 121 Ways Jesus Was There for Me written by JoAnn Place and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the raw and real journey of a young girl as she grows into a woman with unshakable faith while her mom was in the grip of alcoholism. From beloved daughter to scapegoat and verbally abused to separation to caretaker to beloved daughter again. Without Jesus, she would not have lived to share her story. It's not the worst story; unfortunately, many have it far worse, but it's her story. A story about how Jesus was there for her and how he's there for you, too, whether you acknowledge him or not. May it help you find the love, peace, strength, and hope that can only be found in him. The grip of alcoholism is very powerful, but the love of Jesus Christ is so much more powerful. His love never fails. We are imperfect but perfectly loved, unconditionally, no matter what happens in our lives or how much we sin. It's also a story about the power of love between a parent and a child and how it can endure even the most difficult relationship. The story was written and posted one way at a time, 121 ways Jesus was there for the author, along with personally selected supporting Bible verses. It can be read one way a day, all 121 ways in one day, or any way in between. Those who read along as it was written said it helped them grow their faith even if there were no struggles with alcohol. For those who are an alcoholic or at risk of becoming one and for those who love an alcoholic, it may be similar to your own story but you can't find the words to write. And if you don't yet know that Jesus is there for you, may it help you find him.
