Prayers and support

[rramos361]

After reading a post on here it moved me to write my own post. For years now I've been a bad alcoholic. I've been in denial about it. I realized that I've lost control. I get stressed at work and I end up turning to the bottle for comfort. I know that it is the wrong thing to do. A few weeks ago I had went 21 days without a drink. I got transferred far away from my family and the stress got to me. I feel ashamed that I turned to alcohol again. After reading about how many God fearing people are on here, it gives the strength to want to beat this. I could use all the prayers and support that I can get. Thank you everyone.

That post is a good start. I tried quitting on my own with no success. When a different crisis hit my life, I pursued Jesus with all I had and the drinking just went away. It’s been 29 years since I’’ have had a drink and haven’’’t missed it a bit. Hang in there, praying for you.

As Robert has said, the beginning is in place. I haven’t walked in your shoes but have been close to many that have. You have my respect for wanting to address it and change the path of your future. Know that my prayers, and the prayers of many others, are offered for you. God Bless and keep you strong.

rramos361, my story, My father drank a LOT any where from 1 to 1and1/2 cases of beer almost everyday. Alcoholism can run in families and while I could never drink beer, it turns my stomach REAL quick, however I learned a long time ago how much I love the taste of a good mixed drink. It doesn't matter what kind it is, any hard liqueur is fine with me. Realizing I didn't want to be like my Dad, even though it was and still is kind of hard, I don't take any kind of alcohol.
My prayers go out to you and anyone else that has a problem with alcohol, it can be a terrible curse. I managed on my own, but there are many places out there where you can get help before you destroy yourself and your family, please seek them out, with their help and your determination you CAN lick the problem. sent

Excellent start, RRamos, knowing you have an issue that needs to be addressed. Gather as many friends around you, commit to a different lifestyle and ask them to hold you accountable. That worked for me in addition to finding Christ at a late stage in life. My entire world has changed for the better and now I can enjoy chasing crappie without worrying about things I have no control over. That allows me to address those issues I know I need to work on. As all the programs state “take it one day at a time.” Prayers for you and comfort for your family.

Prayers sent
I’ve never had a drinking problem but know plenty that have
You’ve take the first step , admitting you have a problem.
I suggest you seek a support group of some type like AA or something similar.
Most people have to learn new coping skills so they can deal with stress in a HEALTHY way.
Good Luck!

My job comes to an end May 21st. I know I need to find ways to preoccupy my time after I get off work. There's not much fishing in West Texas. If I was home, I have a lake 10 minutes from home. I'm going crappie fishing in a bit with my son. Thank you to everyone for the support.
