• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Wow, such a fool. I risk everything to escape reality for a short period of time. Not only do I risk my own life but I risk others. My father who gives so much for me I easily put his happiness on the line. I care nothing for other’s feelings. Such a fool.. I deny my God, I call his existence false and his love fake. Such a fool….Such a god damn fool…. I hate myself, I hate everything about me…The devil has got a solid grip on my heart again. WHY!???!! A pitiful question for a pitiful person… so full of pitty for one’s self..So pitiful…Why would God create such a pitiful creature? I don’t know, another mystery..I beg for mercy again.. and again.. and again.. again again again again again again again AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again… why should you listen to my cries.. I show everything but care and faith.. I’m offered the world and instead I spat in your face and accept pain.. What a creature I am. Forgive me, again. God why do you do this to your children, do you not know the pain we feel? No words can explain the sorrow that is in my heart. I want to ask why, but there is no point.. I wouldn’t understand it even it you told me.. The devil torments me constantly God. Ill do anything if you please stop him, anything god please, please god.. I don’t know why you allow this God, my heart has been broken so many times I can’t find the pieces anymore.. I'm sorry God for my self pitty.

If you need help stopping drinking alcohol, I suggest you go to the Alcoholics Anonymous website and find an AA meeting and get to one this weekend. You never have to feel this way again.

Oh, and I felt as you describe, a little over a year ago. I have not had a drink in over a year, and I am more content than ever.

god wont give you anything you cant handle, so you can handle this.

one day at a time, one step at a time. learn what alcohol does for you and and what it does not do for you. after that its an easy decision, dont drink anymore and dont ever drink again. we will pray for you here wolf.

many people cant do it alone, so we eed others who have similar thoughts. thats what aa is all about, as well as celebrate recovery. try those.

aa meetings are everywhere, just find em online. make a list of all the locations and meeting times. they arent as plentiful as bars and liquor stores, but they are everywhere, especially in larger cities.

they have a saying posted over the exit door of most " keep coming back" (it works if ya work it) its true, dont just go a little, go a lot. i meet people thats been there 20 or 30 years. they keep going because the new people need them and they need the new people to keep them reminded of how crappy things can be with alcohol in their lives.

i hope these words help you.

in god we trust

I pray God meet you where you are. I know he is faithful to do so when we're at our weakest. I pray you have the will to overcome what keeps you broken like this. What you feel is what most of us have felt...especially when we continue to slip. PERSEVERE in your efforts to stop...keep calling on God. I've been sober 7 years...it doesn't seem like that long and it's humbling for me to reach back to those times and emotions...Persevere in the Lord. These days...it is tuff to do so...it is all we can do to stand...even in CHRIST...you have to remove the enemy and the control he's given in 'your drink'.
