• 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.

Hi all,
yeah drinking can be a problem. I do not seem to have a problem with it until that demom PMS rears his head and I tend to give in to drinking to kill the emotional pain. But I alway feel God is there to get me through.

Hi - are you still drinking???? If so, please go directly to an AA meeting - they are the best and so are the people - the rooms are filled with LOVE!
And God can get you through the emotional pain - don't claim to know it all - still trying to get my 30 days in, but know that God is leading me through this!
God bless you - Hedi

Isn't it funny....how we can blame our drinking on other things....make excuses.

1 of the fisrt steps to sobrity is..."To thine OWN self be TRUE"

Blaming...People, places, & things...is a big LIE,
from satan himself.
he comes only to kill,steal,& destroy...God's people.

Yes God is always with us.
"He (God) will never leave us nor forsake us" :amen:

First step to sobrity,if you really want it...is HONESTY.

Insanity is....Doing the same thing ,over & over & over again....and expecting different results. :doh:

"keep doing what your doing,and you'll keep getting what your getting" :scratch:

I am realising NOW, although I have realised for some time, that my rock bottom point is that I have *not* changed in my desire for drinking too much/too often, for messing up, for letting myself and others down, and for feeling ashamed and guilty the next day. I have changed in so many ways since I came to know Christ, but this is one thing that I continue to fail in. Thank God He is good, and that loves and forgives me. Now it's my resolve to start living up to that love! :prayer:

You know what gal....AA will always be there for you and others that really want sobrity. Its not going any wheres.

When your good and ready...Hopefuly when its not to late it'll be there.

Yes the Lord love's and forgives you.
Unconditionally.

How meny more times will you ask forgiveness for the same thing,your feeling guilty for?(your accontable for your actions)

Living up to God's love is one thing...
DOING it is another.
Got to put it into action.
Faith with out works is DEAD.

How are you treating the temple of God?
(your body)

One of the AA logo's is
"Let go and Let God" trust,faith & hope

No case is hopeless....

Tough Love is never easy....

Shalom
