• 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.

Writing this is the hardest thing I have ever done. I took a small amount of cash from work £20 to be precise and feel absolutely ashamed and disgusted in myself. I know I have done wrong and need help and guidance. I don't feel I have tried hard enough to connect with god but feel this I am ready now. I want to be honest and carry myself off with integrity so my children learn the right way in life. Can anyone help or offer some guidance as to where to start. I feel like I strayed off a path I don't like and have become a person j don't really like. I am immensely stressed out and my son and partner are baring the brunt of it thank you for reading.
 
First you should give back the £20. Then you should apologize for taking the money ask for forgiveness from God and your co-workers. If your kids are old enough, tell them what happened, why you did what you did, the result, and the positive and negative outcomes of your situation. They key thing is honesty. You should feel remorseful about your actions, and pray that you not do that again. I hope this helped. If any part didn't of this response didn't help, just disregard that part.

I second what Dark is saying. Also we are human beings and we make mistakes, but you doing what is right will set a wonderful example to your children.

Thankfully our God is a very loving and forgiving God. He's has forgiven me more times than I want to count when I was struggling w/ my sin.
