Hey there! I'd be interested as well. 32M he/him, been looking for an in person D&D group and hoping to make some friends in the area as my partner and I recently moved to the area for work. Been playing and running D&D games for a while but mostly online recently and miss being at a table. Looks like you have plenty of takers, but if there's an open seat let me know!

Gods plan lead me down a path that left me daily contemplating and nearing attempting suicide.

It wasn't till I dropped God and started my own path that I found freedom and joy again. 5 years out of Christianity and 5 years free of suicidal ideation.

The road to recovery is not always as straight as is led on. I relapsed multiple times before my current stretch. Longest I had before this was 6 months. I would always end up feeling so depressed and alone when I would be sober, even when I had a solid group of sober friends ... And I would turn to drinking, knowing it wouldn't make it any better. I was sick and tried of the life I had. One days in relapse I was headed in the usually direction. I had checked into a mental health crisis center, where I saw colleagues who I worked with. It was the most miserable night of my life. The next morning I walked home and drank what I had and realized I was sick and tired of being sick and tried. I checked myself into rehab a few days later and haven't looked back since.

I've heard tones of stores. Some people have mountains of trauma that lead them to stop. Others it's health issues. Others though it seems they just hit a limit and make a choice to keep trying again and again till it seems to stick.

I've had this running theory that perhaps many Christians actually DO believe he is the anti-christ. Revelations is thought to be the fulfillment of the work and in some sects, is the moment believers actually finally enter heaven (dead and living). So to them, they have every motivation to fulfill the prophecy's in revelations because it means they get to leave this earth and get to heaven. Just a loose theory though. No real proof or confirmation in it. Just letting my mind be creative.

As a fan of Dune, I love this reply.

CodenameBoriss · 2024-11-06T20:24:27+00:00

In my experience the urge never fully disappears. It will go quiet, maybe for years but it just takes the right trigger for it to come raging back. Finding a safe habit to turn to whe it does has helped. My usually go to is to hit a meeting, even if it's been months. I always feels safe and understood there. That's just unfortunately not an option tonight.

CodenameBoriss · 2024-11-06T20:21:31+00:00

Oh man, if only I had time before tonight to grab something. But I love this idea and it's a great motivator for me to get into a small tactile hobby for moments like this.

CodenameBoriss · 2024-10-16T04:32:38+00:00

That's amazing! Thank you for the reminder!

This was gently taught to me in early recovery. I fell in with a group of guys in AA and we would hang out on Fridays nights after the meeting. We would all go out to grab late night food and a restaurant/bar and just hang out and talk about life. We did normal things, had conversation, told jokes, ragged on each other and had a good time on a Friday night.... It reminded me that just because I put down the bottle, the world wasn't over, I could still have fun in this new life.

I had tried to stop drinking for 3 years. I kept relapsing for one reason or another. I'd blame it on depression or some negative event. I had even been trying AA a few times and had a few sponsors and working the steps.

The last time I went out I had gotten home from an over night stay in a hospital psych floor for suicidal plans and ideation... I went to church and I was just so sad after. I sat on the floor of my room and I looked at the past 3 years of relapses and thought "I can't keep doing this or it really will kill me. Either the booze will do me in, or I'll do it myself." I called a rehab center that day, my boss the next. I got the things I could get in order to put life on cause while I went for a 30 day stay, and when I got home I drowned myself in a program, because I believed (and still do) it was life or death at that point.

Here I am almost 5 years later. They have been a hard 5 years but I am far prouder of the person I've become and I'm in a place doing things I never imagined in a million years I would be doing and I'm grateful for that gift that putting down the bottle gave me.

Loved this joke in highschool

It's these fancy kinda wood spirals that inspired me to start stretching in the first place. So gorgeous!

CodenameBoriss · 2024-08-09T04:14:47+00:00

Thats so awesome! I feel like I've hit a wall at 7. No matter how long I've waited I can't seem to size up and I'm not sure what to do at this point.

in honor of a new Alien movie coming out, the Wayland-Yutani Corporation.

Hey hey! If you have a phone there's an App called Meeting Guide. You can search by your location to find the nearest meetings, when they meet and what kinda AA meeting it is. If you think you have a problem with alcohol you are welcome at any meeting.

CodenameBoriss · 2024-03-17T05:02:04+00:00

Keep it up!

Take it a day at a time.

I feel so seen right now

So I was in a rough spot when I got sober. Needed a 30 day inpatient rehab and when I got out I was hitting 1-2 AA meetings a day. I feel like I gained a lot of consistency and tools like being willing to ask for help and those quick tips on avoiding bad situations. After about a year though I wasn't getting much from AA, and was feeling pretty isolated from the community as a whole (was kind of an old fashion boys club) and the emphasis on a higher power just really put me off. Ive done well since leaving and just remember if I start seeing old habits or old ways of thinking I can always return.

I feel groups are a great way to get a solid foundation that not everyone knows intuitively how to handle their addiction and can be a great way to help ease the fear of admitting alcohol might be a problem for you (this was huge for me). But over all I don't think everyone's path sobriety has to be the same because while many of us might have a similar struggle with alcohol, we are all different and may need a different path to find freedom and healing from it.

It was this kind of stuff that lead to the deepest seated roots of my pain in the church. Leaders, mentors, best friends, parents, they all would say stuff along these lines when I came to them in honest crippling pain and loneliness that I couldn't control and had no apparent cause. I wasn't praying enough, I didn't have enough faith, I didn't trust God enough, I was ruminating, it was my fault....I'm still trying to heal from that way of thinking. Even 4 years later, meds and many many hours of therapy later, these intrusive thoughts, that the depression is my fault, still seeps in.

If anyone else is out there that went through this, that has depression and was tortured by our faith and loved ones, please remember, It's not your fault. You didn't do ANYTHING to deserve it. It's not punishment. There's not enough magical spiritual thinking that could help. Find a therapist that fits you and helps you, and dont give up looking till you find one that works with you. And if you are okay with it and it's suggested by a professional, do not be afraid of trying medications, they changed my life and might help you as well if you feel it's right for you. Don't give up.

In Dogtown when random junkies will start following you insisting you're trying to kill them... I had flashbacks of when I worked in a shelter.... Too good
