rollercoaster, the path out of slavery is the same, doesnt matter what enslaves you. I will pray for your son. And for your heart.

Alot here and it's sooo much. I grew up a christian and fell from GOD for the past few years. It is something that I want to rectify in my life but am scared to deal with my GOD issues... Thanks for the reposting wincings_sparkle. Thanks Maia for taking the time to share so much. I know that SI is where I need to be. Will be a frequent reader of your advice.

hey justliving!

I'm on and off here depending on Life. but will make an effort to be on if someone asks ;-)

someone did.

will be praying for you. all issues usually end up being God. but it doesnt have to be that religious pie in the sky impractical-just-makes-you-guilty type of thing.

it can be really healing.

just take baby steps.

peace.

Thank you for posting for this newbie. I really, really needed to see this. Knowing that there is a withdrawal process and that the pain I am in is normal has been invaluable for me. I am at the very beginning of this process of ending A and seeing if R is possible. I need all the guidance I can get.

you are welcome dokta.

the choice is one you make daily, to End it. sometimes it is a choice you make minute by minute. It isnt a one time thing.

keep choosing to end it. it's only when you do that that you heal.
