If they have finished reconstructing your stomach and have it closed up you can now get your willingness and your prayer for help down to that location. Your subconscious lives there and it will take your desire for freedom from fear and everything else and hold it securely. Try holding it in your head alone and it will have to compete with all of the insanity and other stuff roaming around up there. From my experience. Hope the surgery is completely successful and now don't drink cause the stomach/color is one of the places that alcohol will devour; course it also loves brain, lungs, liver, bladder, pancreas, kidneys, nervous system and more. You won't find that on the label of your favorite beer or hard stuff. They want you to continue bellying up to the bar if that is where you like to do your drinking or anywhere else you go to get it. Not as much belly left I imagine so save what's left...Trust God and sponsor and keep working this spiritual program of recovery cause it works when you work it.
It is when I see people conquering true adversity and still staying sober that I realize I can do it too. Thanks for sharing and being an example to us. Healing prayers coming your way.
Mark
