Hello everyone.

[yorkie73]

i came here before, about 5 or 6 years back. I was in poor shape, back then, dependent on drink and somewhat in despair had turned to the Bible. About a year passed and I'd long since forgotten about Bible studies, but was then able to quit on my own. Perhaps God made me suffer a bit longer, to drive home the message that it was an evil behaviour that had gotten a grip on me. I think if I'd managed to quit then, magically, I'd have been back on it by now. I've not touched any for over 4 years.

Anyway, I do remember I recieved lots of very kind, mature, thoughtful and supportive messages here. I recently decided to resume my Bible Studies and am in a much better place now to do that. I hope to make more of a contribution than I did last time! Outside of Bible Studies, I like camping, reading (mainly about history) and walking my dog.

Looking forward to chatting to you all,

Richard.
