I need someone to hear me..please...

Bill, you wont get out of this by yourself. You have to have help. and to get it you are going to have to face yourself and admit publicly you arent able to handle your addiction.

But the good news is there is healing and help for you. Get that help. The people here on AFF will be praying for you!

[Bro. Bill]

Thank each of you so much for your encouragement, I have made it through the nite...I listened to a sermon in the wee hours of this morning by Bro. Jeff Arnold titled I wont die in my dilema....the internet is not a place to air out your problems I do know that for sure.....but thank you for the private messages and for your kindess....I believe that things are going to work out for the better....God Bless each of you....

Bill,

You need something to lift you out of your shame. I'm not sure what that might be, but, I think you may end up drinking because you beat yourself up and feel so low and you need an escape. Maybe the problem is not drinking or drugs but shame. I don't believe that God wants you to live in shame, but He wants to set you free. I will pray for you.

So glad you made through the night Brother.

Our church is what we refer to as a recovery church and I must mirror much of the encouragement and references to getting help that others have said.

I think getting sober and staying sober is your main concern.There are many residential treatment centers around the country that will help you detox and get sober. Your county may even provide funds. After you are sober for 60-90 days the next step is a sober living environment-

We have 3 sober living homes that attend our church right now, we are faith based. We incorporate biblical principles and meetings to encourage our people to stay sober.

I am sure there is some kind of residential living arrangements in your area some my even be faith based.

Just food for thought! Will be praying for you! We all can not do it alone-we need each other. =) Don't feel ashamed, we can't get help unless we admit we need it.
