Alright. Here we go, I spent a losers Christmas at the local bar. I got plastered and thrown out of the bar. God has sent me three specific warnings in the past few months. Distinctive signs that I should quit drinking or end up in jail. So here I am at the start. I went to Church Sunday, and I knew that they were talking to me when they said that somoene has an addiction, and someone that needs to surrender again to Jesus. Anyway, pray for me to get an accountability partner and pray for me. |

We will pray........."I never just sit and do nothing while waiting for Him to tell me what to do. Rather I do whatever is in front of me to be done, and I leave the results up to Him; however it turns out, that's God's will for me." (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 420).......find a meeting today.......toad

Hi, I'm glad you came by and thanks for sharing with us. I will pray for you to have the wisdom and strength to do what you must to stay sober and to allow the Lord into your life. He helps us but as toad shared with you, we must take the steps. Peter could never have walked out to Jesus on the water ...if he never stood up and placed his foot out of the boat. I hope you will come by often and whenever you need, and look forward to hearing about how you are coming along. God bless you...you are on a good path now.

Meetings and prayer. Pray until something happens and then continue to pray as you say Thank you. Your not alone. You can do it.

I hope that God will do for you what you can't do for yourself. I am sending out a 911 prayer to GOD for you. I pray that the obsession to drink will be lifted. Love and Respect.

One of my favorite songs in sunday school as a kid. Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin; Each victory will help you some other to win; Fight prayerfully onward, dark passions subdue, Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through. Refrain Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through. Shun evil companions, bad language disdain, God’s Name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true, Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through. Refrain Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through. To him that o’ercometh, God giveth a crown; Through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down; He Who is our Savior our strength will renew; Look ever to Jesus, He’ll carry you through. Ask the Savior to help you, Comfort, strengthen and keep you; He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through. |

(((StillHangin))) I'm praying for strength for you. God will see you through. Talk and pray to God whenever you're faced with temptation. That is a good song, DontcareinMI posted. I've never heard that before, but it is so meaningful. Keep reading and posting here, stillhangin, you'll find lots of encouragement and support.
