Lost

[Broken Hearted]

I just want to drink my sorrows away.

 

[Perhaps Today]

That never solves anything my dear friend. I will keep praying for you. Just know I love you and care about you. I'm here if you need me.

I just want to drink my sorrows away.

I prayed for you, my friend. The Lord will never, ever give up on you. Look at this:

(Mat 12:20) A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

It doesn't matter what you struggle with in this life - He will never fail you.

I felt that way many, many times. Do you have a program of recovery? I go to AA, and between working with my sponsor on the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and doing service at AA meetings, helping people who are struggling, God has removed the obsession to drink from me.

You can read about AA at www.aa.org

Thank Yall for all the prayers

The only thing close to recovery I do is I go to therapy every 2 weeks. Ive tried AA 10yrs ago for just a bit and I had alot of problems with it but I was able to give up drinking for 7yrs after that. Then when I went back to drinking 2yrs ago they had me try AA agian but after a couple of weeks my therapist told me it would be best not to go back cause it was causing me more damage than good. I have extreme anxiety problems around people and I was self harming more cause I couldnt take being in a closed room with so many people.

I am sorry to hear you have the anxiety problem and have done the self-harm. I have done that as well.

You can still work the 12 Steps of AA on your own. Reading AA literature helps a lot too. If you want to, you can read the AA Big Book and the Step Book online, and begin working the Steps on your own. www.aa.org

There are also online meetings, I just don't know how to access them. You can check the AA website to see if there are any there.

Hugs,

I am thankful for Bill Wilson, (founder of AA) and think he & his wife as God's servents. Bill has saved millions and even after his death w/ his Simple Program for complicated people continues to save alcoholics from death in mind & spirit. Only God could have directed him to include everyone. Just as Jesus left us with one comandment, Love Everyone. The Only requirement is a desire to Stop Drinking. Bill warns that there will come a day when nothing will keep me away from a drink except God and may I find him NOW. It is not important to me what he was but what he became and that will go for me also. I read, Religion is for people that want to stay out of hell. Spirituality is for people that have been there. Bill's program is about living in the spirit. Blessings to you & loveyou please let me know if I can be of some help. Rick

I know what you mean about AA I did try, but found the experience to intimidating, my Counsellor agrees that it is not the place for me, because of the issues I have, not for public discussion. I will pray for you, I have done far better since seeing my counsellor again because I am dealing with the reasons I drink in the first place. Hang on in there

Yes Ive tried AA. I cant go to the meetings. Cause of my anxiety being in a closed room with people. It causes so much stress and triggers my SI when I do try to go. I have the AA book and Ive also about 10yrs ago completed the 12steps when I was struggling going to AA. To be honest it just wasnt for me it caused more problems than good. I started drinking at age 13 I was able to stop when I turned 18 and decided after my suicide attempt to turn my life around after I saw the pain I had caused my mother. Also right at this time is when my father died from cirrhosis of the liver from alcohol and drugs. So I made her a promise that I would stay sober and do right. I did for 7yrs. Then the day Oct. 21, 2008 my mother shot herself I lost it I couldnt handle nothing an thats when the battle began again. I dranked myself nearly to death in a few months after that. I was sober I think finally again from june 2009 to Jan 3, 2010 thats when my baby brother shot himself and it messed me up unbelievably and I just battled it on and off again and I just cant find hope no more. Everything in my life either leaves/dies or gets messed up or the weight of having to be the strong one for everyone here is just to much anymore.

Prayers BH I can see how this can make you feel this way.... Maybe seeking help with counseling could be another solution. Meanwhile you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Stick to it for now and keep it up. May the Lord bless you much for all that your struggle with...

hugs,love
