Prayer Request ... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

barb dwyer · 11-15-2006, 06:02 AM

Hey y'all.

Listen, y'all remember me writing about the recent tragedies in our home group about a month or so ago - 5 people dying alcohol - related deaths in a two week period ... car wrecks and suicides ...

I've been on the phone off and on all night with a couple of the survivors ...
one, a mother ... the other, a wife ... it is apparently time for the depth of what has happened to be sinking in. They're having a really hard time coping. The two I talked to personally are two of the suicides that I knew. Just when we thought we were beginning to move on ... I told them about these forums, I dunno if they'll log on.
And of course I told them about local counseling accesses ... it just seemed that it hit them all of a sudden, and I'm the one on the phone list who's known to be up all night. They just wanted someone to pray with them, it seems to me like, and to talk ...
one lady said tonight that she just can't feel God right now, and she's very afraid ...

If you could spare a prayer for these people, it certainly can't do any harm.
We could use a bit of Golden Light here in butte. At least I could.

Thanks -

deb

thank you everyone - I see that 50 came and looked , and I'm sure they prayed.
The woman went to the hospital night before last, she'd drank (drunk?) so much that they'were worried about an overdose ... she found a counsellor, a suicide survivor group ... so she's much better.

she emailed me here at work and shared a bit about how it'd never dawned on here just how ease it is to get out of control with alcohol ... she'd never epxerienced that.
Maybe HP will see fit to place her in the rooms... whatever. Just so she gets some peace, man.

Thanks for your prayers, PMs, and concern.
