"They simply loved me for myself"

Who couldn't use more light, more clarity in a time of questioning? And if we are in the middle of our own search for light, it sometimes helps to hear the experiences of other "honest seekers for Truth."^{See Science and Health, p. xii.} This feature records some experiences that may be useful to those who are looking for new answers.

The accounts are anonymous in order to protect the identity of those who have moved on from earlier lifestyles and attitudes different from what they now value. Of necessity, the recounting of experiences telescopes the time frame, and these narratives do not attempt to tell a complete story, but they do show something of the wide range of seekers and the way in which the light of Christ, Truth, restores, redirects, and regenerates lives.

To stop drinking is not easily done. Continued use of alcohol, even a few drinks daily, changes a person. There is little energy or clear thinking. One loses self-esteem, and the only thing that becomes important is to have enough liquor in the house to last through the weekend. There are lies, shame, guilt, and coverups. This goes on day by day.
