i hate to bugger you all like this but i have a problem w/ inhalant abuse. what should I do?

 

[Faithful Servant]

well for starters dear...you need to stop. is there an AA or NA meeting in your area? they could offer support to you. do you attend church anywhere? chuch is a great place to start. christian fellowship and support would be great. it sounds like you need something else in your life or someone (Jesus). he has delivered countless people from addiction. and Jesue LOves you!!! he really does. he is a POWERFUL God and more than able to deliver you. barbara

Admitting you have an addiction is a good first step. There should be some place in your local where you can go which offers help. Maybe check in a phone book for treatment centers which may offer advice.

I second the recommendation of having Christian support. Instead of what some call "church shopping" I would say the one main thing to look for in a church needed is one which is steadfast within the Law and Gospel that make up the Scriptures.

My father is a Lutheran minister and he's had encounters with AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). Was even asked to pray at their meetings. What he disliked about them and why he would no longer participate, nor recommend them is while they acknowledge a god, that god was left unidentified. The Triune God was disallowed to be acknowledged and no praying in Jesus' name. Since AA claimed help from a higher power of sorts, can't say I blame him.

paint thinner. and i like it. it's the dangerous stuff. and since i'm terribly mad at the moment, i don't care that its dangerous. no one seems to care about me anyway.
when i do it, i slice the **** out of my arm with a knife or razor. not bragging or asking for sympathy - i HATE that in people.. i'm just telling the truth. but it feels good at the time. the slicing and the sniffy stuff...
im mad at the moment... a mod made me very upset, but i'm not allowed to talk about it (it's "against the rules"). this makes me want that stuff so bad. i think i'll get some tomorrow. i can't deal with this. i went through 12 years of it in school, and now this? if the mods decide to ban me, suspend me or give me a warning, i'm leaving and not coming back. it's funny, i've never stayed at CF under one name for more than 6 months. why? i know it's not all totally me - others (especially mods) pick on me, and imo, i feel they try to get me in trouble because deep down i'm a good guy. i guess they want to push me to my limit? i hate this.
how bout a slice instead? god im so depressed. does anyone care? anyone online now to help? and hurtful, extreme, BLUNT words DO NOT help me. i've had that my entire life. i just need someone to *finally* be nice to me. is that possible?

 

[alexanderky22]

btw, since when is 'c.r.a.p.' a bad word, that they have to beep it out?

They have a huge list of words to * out I am sure - especially since this is a Christian Forum - not wanting to cause others to stumble I imagine.

Hey man listen to what some of the folks on this thread are saying bro... people ARE being friendly to you - you just have to accept it

I use to cut too when I was younger - I also saw a friend of mine from Glasgow go into a coma from too much glue...

You need to own up to this and try to see yourself as Christ sees you bud... I know the addage is old - but you need to learn to "love yourself" before you can let yourself be love-ed.

I encourage you to seek out friends that are not into "the scene" as that is a huge step as well....

God bless bro,

i am really sorry to hear you are hurthing so deeply. it is difficult when we are hurting and feel like we are all alone and no one cares about us. but the truth is Jesus Loves YOu! and there are christians who would love you if they knew you. you were rignt to say you are not a bad guy. that is the truth. i dont know about your family situation or your friends. it sounds like you need inner healing. to be made whole from past wounds. Jesus wants to heal you. talk to him like he is sitting right there with you. ask him for direction. if you dont know him personally then talk to him about that too. you are welcome to private me. or you can send me and email at edited. that wont be sensored. i care and would be happy to help...if you will let me. barbara

ugg i did it again today (inhalant.. paint thinner)... too much on my mind


it's almost a struggel just to type this..

I feel for you in your time of need, but the one person who really needs to be kind to you is yourself. Get some help, please. If you need a best friend, be your own best friend. I know you're hurting right now, and pleased be assured God cares, and there is help out there for you.

when you realize what your brains taking on,you'll hopefull stop.If not,then a prayer for God to grab you and get your mind free is what im asking.this is really a major beating on your brain cells but you must know this by now.Cant think of how an internet forum can help.

 

[Crashfreak]

You need to find somebody that you can talk too. It is easy and safe to share your feelings on a forum, but nobody can seriously help you. You need to find someone you can trust. You need to have someone console you personally. Prayer helps and I will pray for you, but I would ask you for your sake to try and get help from somebody.

People who want help in any type of addiction, sometimes need help in ways they may not want. I had a friend once who had major problems, yet wouldn't accept any help she needed. Only the help she felt she wanted. There is a difference between the two. As far as I know, my friend unfortunately did not accept that.

Thankfully, there are others who do.

I guess I can liken it to a youngster who is severely ill and needs to take medicine that tastes really disgusting. Yet, the child would rather have a sugary treat instead even if it really won't help at all. The responsible youngster's parent or guardian would, of course, give the medicine needed. Hopefully the youngster would accept this.

Praying for you alexanderky22!!! Don't give up, don't ever give up! Addictions are not easy to deal with but they ARE possible to get over through Christ Who WILL strengthen you if you let Him. Pray, pray, pray.

Don't let the evil one win! You can do it! You are a more than conqueror!
