The Fly
I don't usually come on this site, but I feel the need to ask for prayer over this subject. I'm very submissive about my drinking escapades--and they don't interfere with my husband's desires . . . I just think that it might be better if I never touch the stuff again--yet, I find myself compulsively going back to it, periodically, and (usually) when I drink, I drink to get 'buzzed' or get a feeling of weightlessness and escape certain problems that weigh me down. In one sense, I think it's better to "pray out" your problems, but I find myself on a regular basis, ignoring that method and choosing something easier and more controlled (I can control it.
I just feel guilty and think it would be better if I could (once and for all) surrender this issue before God. Yet, many times, I have thought I've surrendered the "drinking option" to God, but I'll turn around a week or two weeks later and forget everything I prayed about and forget my 'persistent goal' in lieu of an easy and relaxed manner of dealing with things. Other times I think all of this is water under the bridge and I ought to be thinking on things (other than my personal problems) things that are more important to . . . others.
*anyways* I ask for prayer on transformation and new beginnings.
Thanks,
Nozomi
