• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Post until I get back from an appoint and other things...

I have had an alcohol problem in the past. I have quit drinking though. I also didn't drink for 18 years one time. This time it's been 8 mos. since I drank. I don't miss it. It kept me awake and I always wanted more more more.

I had tons of boyfriends as a teen! I would go out with several guys, like a different one every day of the week.

I hated guys, but they were lined up waiting for me. I would sometimes stand up two or three in a night. I wanted to be ugly so bad.

My mom started drinking around the time she seperated from my dad. She didn't stop until she couldn't any more with cancer.

My parents are alcoholics and have been since I can remember so I didn't fancy staying home from school when they were there. Once I got into 11th grade, and started doing classes at the community college instead, I didn't have to have notes anymore, so I could skip any time I felt like it...which was a little too often since I was going through a bit of an emotional melt down because of family stuff.

My mom at least had good intentions. She was not there because she was trying to get an education.

thanks ruth. It is pretty well under control now. I mean I know what causes it, and I know what I have to do for it.

That's good. I had hepatitis C for about 25 years. I went on chemotherapy for a year and got rid of it. It took them a long time to find something that cures some people. I am now free of it.
