All I can say is Good luck and God Bless. No one can do it for it you, I'm sure your aware of that. You have to have strength within you. I have associates who have overcome some things and basically its will power of how do you need to overcome this thing in your life. First thing is realize you have a problem, second work to towards getting rid of this problem that's affecting you. Many people around me have succumb to things they dislike in they life. At a point in life sometimes you have to think if this is what you want for the rest of your life to be. Do things to enlighten you even if its planting flowers or going out and speaking about what you are going thru.

My ex is a recovering alcoholic and has been sober for 7 years.

You can do it, It is one step at a time and then one day at a time, lots of prayers and support. Then once you are out on your own, don't go to bars are parties with heavy drinkers. But it can be done if you want, if not then death could be around the corner. My ex died from drinking he just could not give it up or didn't want too, It is your choice.
-
Disregard such things as "prayers", ('magical intercessory rituals'), as being replacement self-delusions instead of drinking - what sobriety needs is the strength to confront reality, not more self-deception. Strength comes from within and that's where you'll find it, not from some dubious supernatural sources.

good luck u got my support

Angel...its a shame FC permits a nitwit like Falcon9 to post something here.Sooner or later i am sure they will get this creep off the forum.
As a father of a son who has had a serious substance problem i understand the hell you have been going thru.I am not going to preach to you but the bible does have a scripture in it that says Jehovah <God> can give you power beyond what is normal.Of course many of us only turn to God when we need His help and then forget about Him.I am guilty of that too.But keep it in mind.
If you fail...dont be afraid to get up and dust yourself off.We are imperfect creatures and this world is wicked.
I wish you well and please from time to time tell us how you are doing.
Thanx

Nothing is impossible with God! He wants only what is best for you, even when you cannot see it or accomplish it! Through His strength and a renewal of your thinking will you succeed for life! I will pray for you....He loves and cares so much for you! So glad you have taken the first and VERY important step in freedom!!! I KNOW you can do this!

Nothing is possible through a reliance upon such superstitious blind religious faith except for self-deception and enabling self-delusion.

Isnt it about time FC to FINALLY get this creep off the forum when he even has to come into a topic as this and disrupt it?
-
There's no need to be so harsh with yourself. Simply abandon your cultish self-deceptions instead of flaming another FC member.

Fortunately for you, faith-blinded members of religious cults have the same opportunity to flame other FC members without censorship as those other members have to report attempts to ban them without violating FC policies. Such attempts to restrict/suppress/repress/censor are not in keeping with FC policy or that of the country in which it operates.

It's a tough, tough road. I wish you well.
-
I will be praying for success in your new life. You can do this!
-
Sending you positive vibes for your recovery! It's hard, but you can do it! <3

Sobriety Rocks! Experience LIFE -- Feel It!
-
Thinking of you and wishing you strength and endurance. As a previous member said. if you stumble and fall, just get up and start again. If you really want this, it will happen. This is your new life, take little bitty baby steps and you will get there! Good luck! :thumbsup:
-
Good for you. I am sure you can do it. Many years ago, I convinced myself I was not an alcoholic, although I drank every day. I asked for God's help to stop drinking. The last time I drank was a New Year's Eve. Some time later (months), I realized there was some champagne left in the refrigerator, and I finally threw it away.

There are more pragmatic steps which can be taken rather than requesting 'magical intercession' from a hypothetical supernatural entity.

Keep it up! Its victory!! :thumbsup:

I blocked F9's posts a while back, but I notice from all the Ignored spots I happen to see, he is doing one of the things he expressly accused me of doing - trolling. While I enjoyed sparring with him for a while, he eventually began to irritate me with just the sheer volume of his posts. I believe he sits in front of his computer posting 24/7. (I am betting this will the followed by an Ignored sign in less than 10 minutes.) I agree with the poster who said it is a shame to allow such nonsense on a thread that is about such an important subject. He is ready for Halloween, though. He can go as the"hypothetical" devil. (chirp!)

If someone who supposed has used FC's 'ignore button' to block their own sight of posts, yet continues to gossip about them, they're not ignoring and are ignorant of the meaning of that term.
... he is doing one of the things he expressly accused me of doing - trolling.
That's incorrect; I've been responding to both trolling and non-trolling posts however, have not begun any trolling threads like you did. It is therefore, not the same thing.
While I enjoyed sparring with him for a while, he eventually began to irritate me with just the sheer volume of his posts.
Volume of posts isn't equivalent to trolling. Apparently, you're as ignorant of the meaning of that term as you are of the 'ignore button' function.
I believe he sits in front of his computer posting 24/7.
As usual, your 'beliefs' have no validity.
(I am betting this will the followed by an Ignored sign in less than 10 minutes.)
Wrong again.

Your entire post was specificaly trolling me by 'nym and thus, invalidates itself on the basis of that hypocrisy. Someone who allegedly uses the 'ignore button' to not ignore and post gossip about who they're not ignoring is demonstrably a passive-aggressive troll.
-
My thoughts and prayers are with you. This will be the most meaninful thing you will do in your life.
-
Way to go all it takes is dermination and will power i quit drinking over 10 years ago
-
I'm a recovering alcoholic. I started drinking when I was 8 years old. My father was also an alcoholic. I'm happy to say that my relationship with God has changed my life. I wanted to be different, and gain a different outlook on life. Now that I am choosing to do things Gods way I am no longer drinking everyday. I don't wake up craving liquor in the mornings anymore. I'm thankful, and trust and believe anything is possible. You can do it!!!!
-

Congratulations to you! :D :heart:

Lou..he is in a wheelchair munching on radishes all day...what else would u expect?LOL!

i am offended i am in a wheelchair and i dont act like that

I don't blame you. Though I'm not in one, I do know several military veterans who are and they'd be offended as well. The offending jw follower lacks the courage to offend a Marine in a wheelchair in person and probably wouldn't survive the experience with any Marine I know.

Sobriety is scriptural :wave:

Sobriety is scriptural :wave:
Actually, according to that same 'scripture', it's not, (c.f., 'wine' usage, both secularly and ritually).

Good luck to you.

I wish you the absolute best and congratulate you on taking control of your life. Some important people in my life that I admire I was surprised to find had dealt with very serious things from sobriety to drug addiction. I admire them even more now and believe they are stronger people for having gone through that experience and to better their life - stronger than I think I could ever be. Heck I have a hard time with sugar in products and cravings. It is easy for people to judge that have never had to deal with something so hard and many of them would not have the strength if they ever had the misfortune to be addicted. So hold your head up proud because you are finding the strength to take control of your life. Life is a learning and growing experience. You are growing and learning and that is always the right direction. How did our elders get so smart in their old age . . . personal experiences - good and bad. The only time we fail is if we do not learn from our experiences. Tough situations may have driven you to alcoholism but taking control and responsibility for your future is how you win! Don't let the past or negatives in your life beat you. Everyday is the first day of the rest of your life and every moment is the next moment if you need the baby steps! You are a bigger better person to overcome something like this than someone that never had a trial or tribulation. It takes more to walk in your footsteps. so know you are walking a path of greatness. Play the old rocky music theme in your head - face the fear head on. What we fear is usually just in our minds what we create. Mostly we fear what we don't know or understand. Knowledge is power. They say as humans we tend to avoid and not change habits till it becomes more uncomfortable not too. So change is here for you and you have help. Congratulations! I am so proud of you! Block out the negative noise, because it is just that "noise", then you can hear what matters! YOU MATTER - YOU ARE SO IMPORTANT - YOU MAY NEVER KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT YOU TOUCH BUT IT MATTERS! YOU GO GIRL!!

falcon9,
1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
falcon9 you're rather delinquent in your scriptures studies. Fret not. The Lord is pleased ;D

Sobriety is a much better world to live in...a clear mind and a clear conscience...and if you find faith in God and act in faith...your world will change for the better and you will recognize your blessings. Life is challenging but it is much better facing those challenges with sobriety. Hang in there you can do it... :thumbsup:

I concur.
...and if you find faith in God and act in faith...your world will change for the better and you will recognize your blessings.
That part is vehemently disagreed with; one cannot have a "clear mind" if it is clouded by blind faith and fogged with religious self-delusions.

We all have vices whether we want to admit our weakness or not. My father went from smoking to drinking to gambling to working to eating and now he is over dieting so that he can overcome all of his past vices. Some people are addicted to worrking out...others can be addicted to bad relationships. Whatever the habit, if it is controlling your life, you probably need to break free. Even Hemingway said that hee would have one drink a day so that he could show that alcoholism hadn't won. But he was adjusting his lifestyle around that one drink. I wish you the best in conquering yours vices.

There are somethings that are just not good for you and then there is moderation for the things we can enjoy.

I applaud you with your efforts with this regarding your sobriety. I am glad you are somewhere where you are taking real action and have help to guide you through this phase in your life. I hope this works and you stay strong through even the ups and the downs you may encounter.
Maybe you could keep us posted with how you are doing? Hang in there! :)
