• 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.

So I used to be a horrible alcoholic when I was 18-20 years old. However I started experiencing some health problems as I was approaching 300lbs. I think it was the lords way of telling me to stop. I am 21 now and 195lbs of muscle and feel good except for a few health issues that I am waiting for god to deliver me from.

Now I still struggle with binge drinking, I am not an everyday alcoholic like I used to be but If I go out 1 time I MAKE IT COUNT! I drink till im drunker then high heavens. Then I feel very convicted of sin the next day and have horrible anxiety attacks that last all day, I am literally so hungover I feel like im going to die, so I am on my knees bagging jesus to forgive me!

I'm basically in the same situation as you are/were. I used to drink loads every day, but stopped now due to health problems. I do binge completely every now and then, and I'm still pretty fat from it. Seems like I have no motivation or desire to change.

I looked into AA, but cant make the meetings due to travel. I just hope I can get help here.

I completely forgot about this thread, I just came back today and seen your post. I am on day 9 of getting sober. My motivation was the health problems, I had horrible acid reflux and could not breathe (srs). Change man its for the better.
