not Q related (sorry lol) but thanks to my life situation (which is admittedly a result of poor decisions on my part) I'm pretty much locked up inside the house. I can't even get my driver's license until at least sometime in june, and until then I have nothing to do, nowhere to go, and I'm bored out of my mind. I'll admit I don't really agree entirely with christian beliefs, but I still want to understand it better and maybe volunteer if possible, but I haven't even set foot in a church in like 15 years now and I have no idea what to expect or even what to do, or even if I should, so if anyone could give me advice or something I'd be most grateful :P

Here's something, I agree with you about the Catholic faith. Same goes for AA or NA meetings. I got more out of rehab than I ever did from going to church every Sunday and reciting lines. I would never tell anyone to they have to agree with everything preaced in an AA or NA meeting, some of the group think I belive can be harmful. but you can gain some great insight into yourself and understand how your brain works to bring you down and back into old habits. Once I understood how the addicted brain steam rolls the thinking brain a lot more of my ways made sense, I knew why I had bad habits and it wasn't because I was weak. Not only with substance addiction but everything else that lead me to errant ways of life. Try a meeting somewhere and listen to other people's stories even if they don't match your situation, at least you won't feel so alone and know others that face similar challenges.
