Random Psalms - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

thirtybubba · 10-04-2009, 01:02 PM

Hi y'all...

It's been a while.

Got scared again, wasn't doing right, and well...

Opened my Bible right now to something random--well I sorta aimed for the Psalms, figuring I might find what I needed there.

Came up on Psalm 28, then 38.

David sang my pain...

Couldn't have done better if I'd had a more clear picture of what words I needed to hear...

Maybe I'm done. I hope so.

It's been a long time since I went to church. I walked down the other day to see service times...it just seemed the right thing to do.
From childhood, The Magnificat always stuck in my mind. Reading it now it makes me realise how beautiful it is.
My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour...

I find reading Psalms to be a great source of strength & hope. I have doing that here too recently. Don't ever give up hope.

It had been a long time for me too... I was afraid all those years, 'cause I knew what I've been doing wasn't right. Starting every prayer with "sorry again" just seemed like a cop-out, so I lost contact with God... Went back in early sobriety, and remembered what all I had forgotten--like the feeling of being loved and belonging on this earth for something. Unfortunately, it's been a couple weeks again since I been to church--I'm going today though.

Yesterday at that AA meeting, someone said that shame was keeping them from drinking... the walk of shame into the meeting room. I somehow came to the same conclusion a while back about facing the Lord that same way... and yet He knows anyways, whether I go to His house or not... Silly mind of an alcoholic.

Every week I've gone, I've felt better the whole week. Lighter, happier, less bitter and it's easier to deal with my roommates. They talk about patterns, this is one I have noticed.

I always liked the Psalms too...

Take care y'all, and hi! IO,
