• 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.

I knew smoking was a sin for years, but I could not quit. One main reason I considered myself sinful for doing it was to draw comfort from the drug called nicotine. I am obsessed with comfort, like it is some kind of idol in my life. I continue to eat more than I should for the same reason--comfort. I wouldn't necessarily categorize my habits as a standard eating disorder. For me, it is just a sinful idol. I want to confess that publicly here and repent of it. I hate it. I just want to see food as Jesus saw food...as nutrition. I want to repent of my obsession with comfort as well. I want to find comfort in Christ.

So there is my heart on the matter. Prayers & encouragement appreciated. God bless.
