• 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.

When it came to my alcohol I had to hit bottom, that place where it hurt so bad, and I felt so empty, that know matter how much I drank, I couldn't drink me a way. It didn't matter where I live or with whom, or how I dressed. No matter where I went, there I was.
It was that ace deep down in my soul that no matter how much booze I drink I couldn't make it go a way, I was chasing all the stuff outside myself to make me (be-feel-do-act-breath-numb myself) better. Maybe it's this drink or that beer, or pill, or smoke, person, this place, this me.
I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Thank God, Praise God; I don't have to be there anymore. That every morning I get up and I have meditation, prayer and coffee with God. That He and I will go to a A.A. meeting and I will here someone speak about God or speak Gods truth, or I might end up being of some service to someone else, I may go to a Alanon or CR meeting and be feed by His Word. It may not come out of the bible chapter and verse, but I will here it. Every morning I give that head noise to God, some days I may have to do that all day long. But that is OK, I am a live today because I have committed to living in the solution, which is God, recovery, and good orderly direction. And I work at staying out of MY PROBLEM which is I NEED to (be-do-feel-act-breath-numb myself) MEEEEE.
I Prayer that each and every one of you struggling or not, find the love of God and the joy in doing HIS will and the freedom of SELF, in JESUS NAME,
:amen:. :crossrc:

Well, thank you for the blessings.

I'm so glad to hear your enjoying deliverance and victory in CHRIST...yes, PRASIE GOD for that, indeed!

Isn't it awesome to have the "presence of mind and peace" necessary to deal. Every day, I thank God...even in trial...that I have the presence of mind to deal. That I no longer cripple myself mentally, from having the capacity to cope with whatever crosses my path...By HIS GRACE and to HIS GLORY...

GLORY TO GOD...HALLELUJIA! :bow:
