• 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

We never been alone. He has been there, planning for something greator in our lives.

Realize the truth, Lord wiped away our record of wrongs when we let him in our heart. He touches us all differently. After we are saved, we learn about the Lord and Heavenly Father. Start the PROCESS of turning from our sins and putting our needs in the Lord. Life long process with many 'peaks and valleys', but the Lord will get us thru. Slowly we start to nail our old dead lives to our own cross, and begin to live in the freedom of the Lord. Our relationship with God makes us desciples or followers of God's perfect example. Just remember though, we are imperfect and can never achieve Christ's example on our own strength and will. We can only be clean and allowed to grow in faith by leaning more on the Lord to use us and empower us to do his glory.

If anyone just lost on an addiction of any kind, just means need to focus on your path. Lord brings joy from within, using us to create, share, and bring others to Him. As our path align more with His, less we need of the stuff that we were addicted to. For those addictions were just man's attempt to find external joy, which is folly. Lord makes one full, while lack of him always make one feel empty.
