I spent a quarter of a century in the Far East. While there I got into the habit of drinking wine. This habit became particularly aggravated after my arrival in France about five years ago. The utter impossibility of securing employment which would enable me to use my talents led me to seek escape in drinking. Finally, after I had done much prayerful work on this problem, and with the untiring help of a Christian Science practitioner, I was completely healed of the drinking habit, although the problem of right place, which was instrumental in my despair, was not solved until a later date.

With this healing came also healings of insomnia and of the smoking habit of over forty years' standing. These victories enabled me to become a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church; for this privilege, I am very grateful.

The condition of insomnia I had believed to be hereditary. During several years I had been unable to sleep for more than a couple of hours a night, even after taking many sleeping pills. No specific metaphysical work was done on this particular problem, either by the practitioner or by myself, but the healing came about naturally as I progressed in Science.
