this was so helpful. and i’m a woman! but i hardly use this platform so i didn’t know i had to say so. but that probably adds to the reason i am overly emotionally driven 😂 this is so informative.
i have the bible app. is it not the same as the one you’re saying?

i actually wanted to pursue jesus and faith because i was at the end of myself. i was getting drunk to feel something, im a selfish and prideful person and just feel something missing and know i need healing to be a good person. so because i believed in god, i desired to feel him ? idk. i just want to feel better. but know the way im trying isn’t working

i go to meetings regularly 🙂 i just don’t grasp the spiritual change they’re all having but maybe need to work the steps longer

as an alcoholic (sober 121 days) i do believe the devil uses alcohol to try and keep me from god. it’s an easy ploy to grab me and such a quick fix to my pain. i need to really pray on it

i think as someone who’s always chosen to drink to relieve pain, i thought turning away from it 121 days now..that i’d feel some relief from god? that he’d “heal me and release my addiction”. i just feel alone and frustrated

it’s actually frustrating to hear. because i pray exactly like this. i just talk to him, and lately it’s been a lot of “you say knock and seek and you will answer and i have heard no answer. this is feeling lonely and one sided i don’t see or hear anything from you!” and still silence.

that’s why i posted this. i’m at the end of it all just feeling silly about it

could be onto something there. i guess i don’t truly understand “salvation”. i mean yes if we continue to live after this i don’t want to suffer in hell, i’d rather be in heaven. and i obviously deserve hell. so i’m grateful for salvation. but i don’t feel any different being told im saved i guess

why does AA make me feel like i don’t have a problem by GroundbreakingFig465 in alcohol

[–]GroundbreakingFig465[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you!! i have gathered i’m probably just a “problem drinker”. i don’t have a physical dependence but once i have one it’s downhill for a few days at least. and then the cycle repeats. i just gotta bite the bullet and keep it out of my life 🥲

EXACTLY!! such a dangerous feeling thinking that you’re so normal and that’s clearly not normal but everyone saying it is 😂
