• 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.

The bottle can't flush down God

They say that the devil lives in the bottle, but my experience is that you can't flush down God with alcohol unless one wants to.

The thing that I am learning is that I don't have it any better by drinking. I can't conquer the new life in me with beer. God don't let go of me even if I drink beer. And his mercy upon me don't decrease no matter how much I drink. So what I am learning is that I will just see his mercy even more clear if I don't drink. The life in Him is just even stronger if I don't drink, and I DON'T GAIN ANYTHING by drinking. I have more to gain by not drinking.

Not sure if this post is of use of anyone, by that is what I have learned, and try to adjust to: That life would be even better by not drinking, as long as I follow God in Jesus. His mercy makes me immune.
