Church meeting at my house (my dad is an elder) and I was asked to go and buy some milk. During the 5 minutes I was round the corner I bought and drank a small bottle of whiskey! I can't believe I just turned up to a church meeting at my own house drunk *cries* it's such a new kind of low.
I also had concussion from being a bit too violent with myself earlier, so I couldn't even tell how drunk I felt from already being dizzy and sick. How could I just sit there like that in our church?! I'm really ashamed
The very fact that you feel ashamed about it is a good sign. I know shame is a horrible, disgusting feeling, but it means that you still care about following God's laws and don't want to disappoint Him.

I've been Catholic all my life, through all the ups and downs, but in the last year my faith seems to have faded so slowly that I didn't notice it happening! I'm now not sure what I can do to get it started up again as I feel that going to church now would make me a hypocrite.
Any ideas on what I could do? I miss my faith and I'm not sure how I lost it :/
The biggest thig is to actually want it, which you apparently do...
so kudos on that!
Try and set aside some time to just talk one-on-one with Christ... Don't worry about the words, just be honest and tell Him how you're feeling.
He loves it when His children come to Him for help.
Faith is a gift, so all you really need to do is ask.
Hey everybody. Just thought I'd pop in and say hello. I've been a christian(Church of England, aka Anglican, aka Episcopal if you want to get specific) since I was about 8 but I'm not even sure I deserve that title these days. I've fallen so far from where I started I'm not even sure I can get back there from here but I've recently found a new church(a different denomination, though I'm not sure I want to fully change) that seems to be the first ever that I've really been accepted at(of course nobody's seen the scars yet, and they probably never will)...so we'll see how long that acceptance lasts... hopefully I'm not too far gone to make it back, we'll soon find out. Anyways, enough about me I just wanted to say hello and let you all know that you'll be in my prayers. Take Care, God Bless ~Jewel~
I try to love the sinner but it's more than the sin will allow. I've looked a long time into the dark,
hoping the truth would show me how

That sounds like exactly what I would have said about a year ago... I can totally relate.
I accepted Christ at the age of 12, [June 28, 2004] sometime later that year I started cutting... I wasn't caught until September of 2006, and I didn't stop cutting until August 2, 2007...
Those three years were so emotionally painful, first because of the things that were causing me to cut myself, and second because I felt so guilty and ashamed of my sin.
I knew God still loved me, but I also knew that He wanted me to repent of that sin... I was relying fully on my SI for relief and support, so rather than repent I turned away from Christ...
As painful as it was when my mom found out, it was for the best...
Your family & friends will probably react better if you work up the courage to tell them than if they just find out, because telling them proves that you are interested in recovery.
I'm not sure I answered your question... but definitely feel free to pm me.
What are your views on how God feels about being sexually with the same gender as yourself?
I think God understands you far better than anyone. He created us and therefore he also created homosexuals - the fact that you or whoever is gay is not one's own choice. And love is always sacred - be it between two people of same or opposite sex, it is still love. Of course, being sexual with someone without love (ok, or marriage) is still a sin, but it's a sin for the straight AND for the gay.
I cannot understand why a heterosexual family is worth more than a homosexual - it's based on love. Yeah, God first made a man and a woman... but he also created gay people, so it can't be as wrong as the church says.
OK, my opinion: if you love someone and intend to spend your life with him/her, it just doesn't matter if it is a he or a she. That simple.
Thank you for making this. I'm a Christian and I cut. I hate dissappointing God all the time, but I'm starting to get to a place where I am relying on Him more and cutting less so that's good.
I dont normally do this but... Could somebody pray for me? I'm seeing my psychiatrist in two days and I am so scared. I need courage to tell him about what's been going on (I have a difficulty with communication).
