• 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.

It took several attempts for me to stay sober. I never stayed out long, and I kept coming back until the miracle happened. I'm so grateful I did keep coming back. We aren't in competition with anyone and no one works the program perfectly. I really didn't need anyone to kick my but - alcohol did a good enough job of that. I just hope everyone reading this gets in the habit of sharing here on a regular basis. It's so important. Share when things are going good and when they aren't going good too. Easy does it a day at a time. Christ is the hero. He just says come unto me. He longs to do for us what we can't do for ourselves. When we trip or fall He doesn't draw a sword. He wants to love us into wholeness. That's what I've found.

I agree with you...It's not a competition... Some can drink and leave it, while some just can't without putting their life on the line... for some reason... I don't think that alcohol is a sin... but it's definitely not for me... I know that by experience... I'm also grateful to be sober... to know the grace of GOD

Definitely not for me either - I can't take one drink without having dire consequences because I am an alcoholic. I'm 16 years sober now and only by His grace and working my program. What I meant was no one works their program perfectly and yet we can still stay sober by His power working within us. Abide in Christ.
