• 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 pray for you sister and your boyfriend! It must be very hard and I don't want to pretend like I know anything about your situation or your boyfriend. I was addicted to Oxycontin, infact I took 4 today instead of the 2 like I'm suppose to... Though I have stumbled, I put my trust and faith to heal me from this. I pray to the Lord that He will take care of your boyfriend and that Satan won't have dominion over his life! Be strong, sister! God bless.

Thank you for your prayers. Nar-Anon has really helped me. I didn't cause it. I can't control it. I can't change it. he came back that night, sober praise the Lord, but fell again this weekend :,( I wish I could read his mind and know if he is really ready and trying, or if he is merely trying to hide it under the guise of "recovery" This is so difficult. Is it my desire to show him the love of Christ? Or codependency? Is forgiveness for falling ok? Or is that enabling? I just am lost you guys. I don't want to give up on this kid. He goes to meetings frequently and has a sponsor, he isn't violent, and has never verbally or physically abused me. Hmmm wish I could know without a doubt the path the Lord is leading me. We all fall... its getting back up that matters.... right??? Or are those just the sick thoughts of a codependent?

Recovery is never easy. Let me give you an exercise and see if you can get some insight into what change is like:

Do you take a daily shower or a Bath? In the morning or the Pm?

Which ever one it is and which ever time it is-I want to you SWAP it for 7 days in a row-NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you have been taking a shower in the morning-I want to you take a bath at night or vice versa...humor me, please-its such a "simple" request. Do that and then return and post here and tell me how the change affected you or if it didn't.
