I'm struggling.
And to cope, I (ab)use substances, like alcohol, weed and other stuff.
I want to get out, but I'm not ready to accept Jesus as my saviour, because I... well... It's complicated.
I DO accept Jesus as what he is, and that he saves People, a lot.
But...
For the moment, I won't be able to respond to comments in this post, because I'm heading to bed, pretty wasted.
I don't know where this thread will take me, but here we go.
Please, I'd rather not be encouraged to put all my faith in Jesus etc.
I do believe in the Creator, though...
Btw, GAW community...
Thank you for being here the last couple of years.
Edit: Wow, thank you for all your support! Iβll read all of it and will certainly get back to you all. ππ»ππ»ππ»
As someone who quit drinking cold turkey, I offer one piece of advice.
Taper off.
Ask me how I know, or don't. But please taper off.
Cold turkey worked for me too. It's when you've decided you've had enough to make a stand , a choice .
Yeah, it worked for sure...but I caution ppl to taper because I learned that booze, along with benzos and barbiturates, can actually kill you during withdrawal unlike most other drugs
Yes, very true. Iβm not in the detox side, but the medical side. Iβve seen people nearly die in withdrawals. It can and does happen.
