Okay. My total deliverance and radical lifestyle transformation just happened to coincide, to the moment, with a profound experience with God, Who had nothing to do with it.
Now that takes a lot of faith to believe.

The experience could have been in your own mind - I'm sure ancient Greek alchoholics kicked the habit with some help from Zeus for example.
Like I said, I'm sure there's Buddhists who gave up drink with help from Buddha. Satanists with help from Satan. Etc.
The conclusion is that you used your belief as a tool - not that God intervened and changed your life. YOU changed your life. Good for you.
