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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I see a lot of comments from Internet doctors recommending all sorts of supplements. That shit really annoys me because if you're eating a healthy diet and you're a normal person, you don't need any of that. It's wasted money and money's tight right now and only going to get tighter for most people. Spend it on real food.
It sounds to me you have more on your chest that you need to deal with. I'm not going to pretend to have the answers. I don't even know what your questions are, but I suspect it's not about anything in that post. Something is bothering you. The substances are a response and they're making it worse for you. You sense there's something spiritual involved, but have no idea how to respond to it. Am I reading that right?
If so, the best thing I can suggest is find someone you trust and talk to them. Whatever is on your mind, you've got to let someone else in. As stoic as we men are taught to be, sometimes, we can't just grin and bear it. Sometimes we can't just tough it out and walk it off. We need help. We need someone else's eyes to help us see and someone else's mind to help us think.
If you want to talk, obviously, we'll try and help here. If you're more private than that, find that trusted someone. Let us know how it worked out and if anything helped.
Best of luck to you friend,
Thank you. You‘re reading me quite right.
I found people where I can confine in. You anons, right here. As the issues at heart lie within myself, adressing them is the first and most important part - I chose you bunch, because doing so, is the first step towards really working on myself.
