Well I started drinking alcoholically at the age of 12 leaving Christian school to public school really shook me up and I escaped in the bottle. I had four years sober at six months I had a powerful born again experiance not really cause of AA but inspite of. I stayed in AA and really didn't grow as a Christian and relapsed after four years. I was very mad at God that I had schizophrenia so I drank again. Four years of grace. I've been going to AA for the last three years and really not growing as a Christian. Insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results so AA doesn't work for me. I bought a book on Spiritual warfare and that is helping. I have a Christian family but know Christian friends. I'm on disability cause of my mental illness so I have a lot of spare time I can use to study the Bible go to Bible study and Church so that's my new plan. I've quit gambling opiates porn smoking but alcohol and benzo's tapering I really struggle with.

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.

So far it sounds like you got this. That's a hefty list of things to weed out. If there is a church near by see what they offer, even if it's not your denomination. Some churches can't afford help and would love for you to tend to the library, straighten up the sanctuary etc. We're all in this boat buddy!

Jaxis, you'll surely be able to quit alcohol as well. Since you've managed to quit smoking, gambling, and porn addiction, since all of these three addictions are hard to overcome.

Best of luck quitting drinking, you seem like you have really come a long ways. Trying to stay busy and active at nights might help, helping with young life events or local church volunteer work as asimplerway had mentioned. Best of luck and never stop trying!
