My desire for alcohol ceased

I was introduced to Christian Science by a friend who regularly gave me copies of the Sentinel. I really liked what I was reading because it spoke of God as infinite Love, in which evil has no place. 

I was reluctant to pursue the study of this Science at the time, as I believed the religion of my upbringing to be the one true religion. But the Christian Science publications nevertheless piqued my interest in things spiritual, and I was inspired to start reading the Bible, something I had not done before. Through this reading, I was coming to know and trust God better as divine Love.

A year or so later, I attended a public lecture on Christian Science. There I got a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and started reading it as well. Shortly after that I began studying the weekly Bible Lessons from the Christian Science Quarterly.
