My name is Raf, and I really don't know what to say, so I'll just say what comes to me. I was raised Catholic, but doesn't do anything for me. I accepted Jesus Christ in my life in 1991, and have back slid in between. I'm 58 years old and I'm an alcoholic, I tried AA, and once put together 5 and a half years of sobriety. There's still something missing, and I believe I'm lacking Spirituality. I feel that I'm at the jumping off place. Can't live without alcohol, and can't live with it. Lately, I put together a couple of days without a drink, only to drink again. I ran out of things to say, but you get the jist of it, I'm sure. Well, that's my introduction and I'm sure I'll join in on others comments, so I think I'll try to familiarize myself around here, and thanks for being here.

Hello


Welcome to Christian Forums!
I am so glad that you decided to join the site. This site is full of wonderful Christians who love to praise God, fellowship and just have a good time. I am sure that you will quickly meet many new brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are wondering where a good place to get started on the site would be, I would recommend that you check out the Edification and Life Stages boards. Edification allows you to participate in Biblical studies, to ask other Christians questions, and to post prayer requests. Life Stages is designed for people to meet and talk to people at different stages in their lives. There are many more options on this site, and if you would like for me to recommend some more for you please feel free to send me a private message.

I would also recommend that you check out the
Blessings Exchange. This board allows you to play games and participate in fellowship threads to earn extra blessings, the site's currency. You can use your blessings for such things as purchasing items for your Living Avatar or creating a Pet.

The simplest way to earn blessings is by posting. You may earn anywhere from 5-10 blessings per post depending on post size. You may also get a
Job here at Christian Forums to earn extra blessings. All you are required to do is post and collect your salary every week! The more you post, the more blessings you earn. You must have at least 100 posts to select a job. After you start earning blessings, you can deposit those blessings in a savings account at the Christian Forums Bank. By depositing your blessings in a savings account, you are able to collect a 1% interest on those savings each week! I do advise you to only deposit blessings once per week since the timer resets each time you deposit or withdraw blessings. *NOTE: Right now the blessing system is down*


If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message!!
