I need you! I am new and tired if drowning in alcohol. I need to get for church. last week I drove there and sat in the car the whole service, too ashamed to go in. I know that is stupid. Just got starter kid yesterday. Drank about half of typical. Any encouragement especially from those who share my faith much appreciated.:new:

Hi Girl,

I can understand where you are at. I have done the same thing. Please know that you can get out of the pit! Please continue to reach out. The worst thing about alcohol is that it will isolate you. I am am here if you need prayer.

God Bless!

First off going to church shouldn't be shameful, in fact going to church can help you. Find the church that you feel that is right and go to it. Talk to the pastor in private and talk to him about your problem. He/she could know of things that you can do in order to beat this demon. Your church family can also pray for you and who knows, you could form friendships with so many people there and some could have had a similar history with AL and have beaten it.

MDG, it was very hard for me to be both alcoholic and Christian. I felt too guilty to pray or go to Church. I felt as if I had turned my back on God and after all He had done for me, I was carrying so much guilt and shame around. I used to have a very powerful, spiritual relationship with God. Once I admitted I had a problem to God and I started praying that He would take away the desire for alcohol, things began to change and I felt His powerful love again! I completely understand how you are feeling and I will pray for you. I am also here for you, if you ever need to talk privately, just pm me. Like everyone said, get over the guilt and go to Church. God will bless you for it. Love, Vicki
