miktre, You are in my prayers. Please try to hang on to Jesus. Try to keep going forward in faith. We all trip and fall once in a while. For your children. My father gave in to drinking. That was 42 yrs ago, I have forgiven him but the belief that I was not worth it to him to try , still causes me sorrow. Most important is, you are worth it. Your value is so much more than you know. Keep on the road to success. I know that then you will know the gift you are to those that love you . Again, you are in my prayers. God bless, pickles

In your statement you didn't elude to any particular addiction or condition. By 'In trouble', I'm believing that you are struggling with staying clean. It will be necessary for you to heavily rely on your support system in these times. Christian Chat members will be good for a little support, and there are wonderful people on this site, but ultimately, you will need to make direct contact with members of a support group and/or members of your church with whom you have a close relationship. Isolation can be the worst enemy, and the enemy of our souls, (satan), seizes the opportunity to influence you by supporting negative thoughts and destructive patterns when you're bored or alone.
I encourage you to eliminate any relationships with others which have the potential to lead you back into destructive behaviors. If your church is not a bible teaching, supportive, loving congregation of people, you may want to consider finding one that is. Bible reading on a daily basis can be a chore, but there is a type of cleansing that does occur, and so I encourage you to continue reading an 'understandable' version of your choice.
Fellowship with believing christians will be your best support. Get phone numbers, arrange times to meet with supportive friends. People who would not mind if you called them at 3AM, at a time when you may feel drawn to addictive behavior. Self discipline is not easy for any of us. But you will find that it is much easier when you are surrounded by people who genuinely care about you. People in your area. Reach out to them and allow them to hold you accountable. Draw on your support system. Don't wait until your almost to the point of giving in to bad choices or relapsing. Make contact!

Hi. I am new here. I am an alcoholic but have been dry for 21 years now. Praying has helped so much and I am a big believer. I have a great understanding and loving wife and family. I am now having some trouble with my left eye. I have a tear on the rectina and have had two laser surgeries on it but I am still having trouble with it. Can you please say some prayers . Thank You so much. God Bless You All!

Miktre,
I really think what songster said was really good. Reread what he wrote. That is such good advise. Read the Bible daily it will help. You can do all things through Christ, Philippians 4:13. I know you can over come this and withstand the thoughts satan is putting into your head. GBU, Be strong in the Lord.
