Well, how to put this...
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
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! I‘ll read all of it and will certainly get back to you all. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
They say drug/alcohol abuse, in many cases, is the filling of a hole in your life. Something is lacking. And often, it is connection. We have to identify that hole, name what it is you are trying to replace, so you know how to confront the issue and how to connect with a positive outlet. Be it nature, art, music, Jesus Christ, beautiful people, physical movement (my drug of choice was bodybuilding & mma), a quest for knowledge. There are so many ways to bridge that gap and allow yourself the freedom to overcome! Connection. We all have our guilty pleasures, no one is perfect, don’t be hard on yourself. Just as long as you are trying, that is all anyone can ask of you. The first step is caring about yourself & where you’re heading.
