• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I've tried repeatedly to quit doing drugs. It started with cigarettes, then to marijuana, now more harder drugs like narcotics. I REALLY want to quit and I have the hugest desire to quit. I'll go a few weeks to a few months sober, then I'll break down and get high.

I don't know what to do in life anymore. I've prayed for guidance and asked for forgiveness. Yet everyday I feel farther away from God than the day before. I use to go to church every week and play on my worship team and be such a light, now I'm nothing. I'm just asking for some help, or any personal experiences that may help me.

Anything is helpful, and is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You could try to find out if there is a cenacolo house near where you are. You can find then in many european countries and sucess rate is very high, i think around 95% in comparisom to about 5% or less in normal goverment run schemes.

You may get some better answers in the drug addiction sub-forum here at CF.
I would highly recommend AA or NA. If you put in Alcoholics Anonymous, or Narcotics Anonymous ( and your town or city) into your google search you will find a meeting time that is in your area. You may find while sitting in a meeting that something clicks and with the help there , stop. :wave:
God Bless!
