rusty 443:
Yes, It is heartless and unthinking for people who do not
understand the disease of alcholism. It may help you to
know that they say these things from ignorance possibly
not heartlesness. My goodness, I had a prognosis several
years ago of 6 months to a year to live from cirrhotic liver
disease, God healed me of that, and my own family does
not remember, it is just too unthinkable for them to accept
even now. Rusty, even with all the publicity, maybe
because of it lately, addiction is not seen as just that. It
is still seen as a habit, something one chooses every day
to do or not to do under their own strength, and will.
Do not lose your faith. I too suffer from a mental disorder,
I am telling you, this is no excuse for a relapse. But I
understand the feelings. Maybe you are taking on some of
those feelings of judgement onto yourself? Don't let them
inside.
Don't lose faith. It's not God's fault. For questions such as
these, I would direct you to the Christians in Recovery
section and simply ask, or PM a message to the forum
leader, cmc. There are also other forum leaders of various
faiths. Another wonderful leader is Ann. They can help
direct you.
Love,
Sherry
