• 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.

My prayer goes out to all that are struggling with or recovering from Substance Abuse. I will not go into all that I have done, lets just say I started at the age of 14 (55 now, only by the Grace of GOD) Alcohol, Weed.... etc. I am clean now (years) but I will always be considered a Drug and Alcohol abuser because that is what I was. If you are fighting an addiction or trying to stay clean you do not have to go through this alone, I am here if you ever feel the need to reach out. I know that people you thought would never turn from you when you need them may sometimes treat you like a stranger (been there) but there is ONE that loves you no matter what and will never forsake you. Jesus is the ONE that can and will take you from the Pit and fill your heart with peace if you will reach out to Him. God Bless! My Prayers are with you.
