I think I have a problem...still

[LoG]

NA can help, but it is not the answer to drug addiction, only god is.

NA, AA, is not the answer in the same way as the bible, church, pastors, priests, sacraments etc aren't the answer either. They are all aspects that lead to God through sanctification and justification.
Drugs and alcohol are but symptoms of deeper issues that create a need to medicate in some way shape or form. The people in AA/NA have a much better understanding of the potential issues involved than those who have never suffered from the disease of addiction. The 12 Steps imo, are unparalled in their ability to feret out those deeper issues. Each of those Steps has have multiple scriptural backing for their wisdom and have their foundation in a Christian group in the 1800's. Why continue kicking against the things of God?

because NA is not a thing of god, it can be, if you choose to accept it, I think alot of people choose their higher power to be god, and I am not trying to help those fokes, because they have god. The problem is the people that don't choose god as their higher power, and think they don't need the one true god to stay clean, NA encourages people to choose a god of their liking, and that is not a good thing, that is a bad thing.

Also I didn't say any of those things are the answer, I said the answer is god, and that is true without question for me.

Great Idea....

I'm not so sure about that...but thanks for the encouragement. I need it right now.

Hey, I know you said you have been baptised before, but you might want to think about getting baptised again, I know it helped me . If you do want to, then I will link you to a web page that helped me to do it, and I think it really helped to get rid of my addiction to drugs, just a thought, tell me what you think, and your pastor should help you out, let me know what he says, I am glad you haven't used today, that is a set in the right direction.

 

[chilehed]

rfprewitt,
How are you?

 

[BigChrisfilm]

Yea, I am alittle worried about you! Haven't heard from you in a couple days, did you go to the pastor, if not that is cool, get back with me if you have the time, remember, trust in god, and don't use, if you did, no one here is going to judge you, I know I won't

 

[rfprewitt]

I am okay. I go to talk to the pastor Thursday.

 

[chilehed]

Glad to hear it. You're in my prayers.


And happy birthday!

 

[rfprewitt]

Thanks. I really appreciate all the prayers I can get. You guys rock.

 

[BigChrisfilm]

[rfprewitt]

Alright. This will be a longer post. To make it somewhat short, here is the easy version: this morning I almost got kicked out cuz I was fighting with my dad. But then he decided he wanted to talk. It ended up with me admitting to him that I"m an addict. Now he's saying that "we'll talk more tonight" and talking about rehab and saying "We will do whatever it takes". In the meantime, today is my second day clean. I ran out of hydrocodone Sunday night. My nose won't quit running, and I am sick to my stomach. I don't want to do anything but sleep. I don't know what will happen if anyone else finds out about this. What if my dad like goes and tells all his pastor friends and friends at school? I'll get kicked out of school if they find out. HELP!

Withdrawels can be tough but hang in there, you will survive.
Kudos for admitting the problem to your father. Sounds like he is being supportive. As far as your fears and worries is concerned, turn them over to the Lord. He will turn it all to good. Learn to trust in Him. Turning it over to Him, will play a major factor in the upcoming days and weeks.

Keep your mind on today. Don't worry about what tommorrow will bring.

I go talk to the pastor thursday. I have been so sick all morning. My back hurts like you would not believe. In one sense it feels okay to have it not be a secret anymore, but on the other hand its like "that was stupid".

We can only get help with our problem when we admit it. I knew for a while that I had a problem with drugs and alcohol, but it was only when I admitted it and sought out help that i was able to overcome it.
That admitting is what saved my life...literally.

I dont know what to do anymore.

I dont know what to do anymore.

That's ok.

Stop fighting and surrender to what God has in store for you. Believe it will be good.
