Hello!

:wave:

Howdy! Been a while! :wave:

Howdy! Long time no post! :)

What's happening? I see that there has been some changes around here. Good or bad?

You got it! :thumbsup: That sums up my problems with groups such as 'AA' and 'CR' nicely. These types of groups, although meaning well, do cause the person to focus on behaviors. Focusing on behaviors and identifying with such behaviors is not only wrong but will cause a self-fulfilling...

Howdy, Larry, My short answer is "yes", however, this 'concept' is not new. The Truth that we are no longer slaves to sin but newly alive in Christ is not a new thing. It's been my personal experience as well as observation(s) that most Christians don't truly believe this. This is why I stated...

Hi, Divinah, With all due respect and no offense intended, I find Celebrate Recovery as problematic as AA, if not more. I say more, because all Celebrate Recovery has done is replaced "Higher Power" with Jesus Christ. It's great that Jesus Christ is openly worshipped and discussed in Celebrate...

Sorry to hear about the recent DUI. It's not the "disease" which is ruining your life, but your flesh. Don't identify with the world but with Christ only! Yes, you are correct. AA does not work. It is God who "works". I am teaching/leading a group at my Church based on curriculum from...

Didn't you start a thread about erinmarie or something? Well, it doesn't matter I guess. I agree with you that certain people have it out for you there, however, my only point to you was that you shouldn't have given them any amunition. Oh, well... Glad to see you here though. How is the...

Hey, I see you changed your username. I like it! I love those Police Academy movies. Man, that was sure fast for you at TOL. You should have let bygones be bygones, amigo. You would have been fine if you would have let all that bad history go. That was the choice I had to make when I...

Well, I've never experienced what you have experienced, but I have many friends who are survivors of this type of atrocity. I can tell you what they did. Two of my friends attended a Survivors Group and went through counseling. I know that it took them a while to get to a place where they...

It's quite possible that you are not a drunkard. If I may be so bold, it does sound like you are at the very least drinking for the wrong reasons. Think of it as idolatry. For example, I don't drink anymore, but at times, I don't rest in God and relapse back into my flesh over something...

I can understand you asking yourself that question. A lot of people, and good Christians too, often wonder why bad things happen to good people. I have wondered that myself. I can say that I've learned that God is sovereign. I don't believe that God is the author of evil nor do I believe...

You got it, sister! :thumbsup: Why do you think you are struggling with your belief at present? I've read a few of your posts so I know you've had some terrible things happen to you. Do you feel God is somehow at fault or responsible? Or, are there other reasons?

Hi, Terri! :wave: Yeah, I don't post much these days...busy with family, work, and Church responsibilities.

If it wasn't for God, I would have been dead a long time ago. Mel, Take your pain, troubles, shame, guilt, and sins to the Lord. The Lord has extremely broad shoulders and listens intently. Rest in Him. Talk with Him. Walk with Him. Get yourself a good mentor. Talk with your Pastors or...

I'm sorry, but your point is what exactly?

I see you are a Christian, Mel. Couldn't you go to God with your troubles and pain instead of the bottle? Why are you choosing alcohol over God?
