  • Waihiga Mutero knows what it means to have alcohol ruin and control your entire life.
    At age 15, she was already mixing drinks and in her twenties she was taking it like water. Not only did she become hostile towards her sister but it also took her nine years to get her degree.
    So what exactly changed?
    Here is her story on today's episode of the Lynn Ngugi Show

    i was an alcoholic my life was literally over one day i decided enough was enough and decided to quit i havent had alcohol from february 2011 no rehab i read an AA book and prayed alot when i wake up in the morning i have a choice to drink or not to drink i chose the later 10 years and counting God is great

    Haha. I like how the story begins. When she talked to the alcohol like where have you been all my life? That was me with weed. I ended up getting high almost everyday if not everyday for four years. I am 6 months sober now. If anyone is reading this and thinks drugs and thinks its good for them, try and stop. If you cannot control it, you are in problems. But if you stop using for a while and look at the bigger picture, youll realize there was a gap you were trying to fill, but the sad part is, drugs only filled that gap temporarily. You'll always try to catch that feeling again, how it felt the first time you drunk or smoked, but the more you chase that first high the more you need to get there. In short, addiction is real and spiritual and there's only one person who can break such shackles; JESUS. Whoever is set free by the son is free indeed. That's how I stopped using. JESUS. Praise God.

    Alcoholism is also a stronghold from the devil.....call it a spirit if you like springing up from many experiences. In Jan 2019 when I knelt beside my bed to pray as I started my 10 days fast, I was having a crazy hangover, hardly could walk.
    A pastor from a church I had started going to in November previous year suggested we fast so that we can start the year well. After the cross-over service, I went on a drinking spree. But after kneeling down and crying to God that evening with a crazy hangover, I stood up with a changed appetite. That coming Sunday morning in my livingroom listening to a gospel song before going to church, I got convicted and gave my life to Christ.
    2019 was a struggle coz I was still dealing with the same friends and everytime we met they expected me to have a drink, I would shingo upande but just a drink or two. They couldn't believe that I was nolonger interested in drinking. I didn't buy anymore alcohol to keep at home though.
    Late 2019 I decided to cut ties with everyone I knew in that world and my journey of sobriety really started. 2 years later, I don't remember that life. God has restored me and wiped away all the pain. I am at a better place. A very calm, happy, and very productive person. No anxities anymore.
    I don't know what I would have done or what would have happened to me if Covid crazy would have found me ln that lifestyle...🤔🙆‍♀️
    I thank God. Glory to God!

    1.experimenting and Binge drinking
    2.increase to alcohol
    3.problem drinking
    4.physical Dependance
    5.100% Addiction .here the alcohol is being consumed anytime and anything one comes across..dont care attitude etc
    Yes i have been thru this stages for 20yrs and i did 2 therapies that didnt work even i backslided again..wow it is a non ending rollercoaster i swear.i eventually did a cold Therapy all by myself @home of which was not easy but i remained patient and consistent..

I’m sober now, but looking back I don’t think I would have made it out if it wasn’t for God!

Acknowledging that there is God who is in charge of our lives is liberating. Am proud of you Waihiga and to your parents who are your hugest support system. And to your Eden support group...

    The best thing I can say as I reason out what I've just heard from this very painful testimony is there's a God in heaven who's the only one who cares for each an individual without being judgmental. I know how it feels dealing with a family member with such a problem coz I've been a care taker. To go through such problems we need God for guidance and comfort. Waihiga you've gone through a lot but all will change by God's grace and you'll be a living testimony. Lynn I can't even Express how much I love what you do and the kind of humor you got.
