Hey Skrubby ,

Sympathies . The word Powerless was a word I had never heard of before until I sought help for what I then thought phsycological "issues" . Well , needless to say , even though admitting that they themselves (the Phd's , and yes there were more than one) were having difficulty pin-pointing the root of the "issues" , nevertheless , I had always exited the office with yet another appt. slip and a $120 bill , with a thought of "why does he want to see me again ?" . This went on for more than a couple of months and a couple of diff. shrinks with the same results , my thinking was the more expensive the better the help . Over a period of time , those "issues" got bigger and bigger , and the only outlet I had at my disposal were outbursts of all sorts , from self destruction thru drugs and alcohol to escapism . From one rehab to another . Then , after $ 80.000's and some six yrs later , I just simply could not "handle" it any longer and tried to do what I thought the ONLY way out was , suicide , if I hadn't been in a blackout I may have succeeded .

All throughout this so called seeking and crying for help , the "solutions" I had been suggested were , "this self-help prog. will do this , Jesus will do that and God will do the other " talk . All the while , tho sounding sensible and admirable , I still could not apply them to myself , until that is , my last attempt to "get outa here".

This man , having gone thru the same wringer as I , gave me the condition called Powerlessness . It's been over ten years now since I sought anyone's help but from my All Loving Father with whom I am forever basking in a so intimate a relationship that I would not have fathomed , left to my own devices .

You chose the words well with "Wake up" for your title Skrubs , Lets talk about our weaknesses rather than strengths , maybe we "touch" more people that way , I know it got me .

As of wether Daniel went to hell or not ? Given the only two options we have between Heaven and hell , Daniel just got out of the hell he was living in , so ...

Hey Skrubs,

Thank you for reaching out in your own pain to try to help others.

You truly have the heart of a servant. *saint*

Prayers remain with you, your brother, and the family my friend. *Pray*

There isn't much anyone can really offer to console your pain bro, but we will all continue to reach out, so you know we are here.

I imagine you are dealing with some pretty tough thoughts, or will when the shock winds down. It is understandable, personally the pain I faced nearly killed me because I tried to ignore it.

Please know this:
There isn't anything you could have done differently,
It ISN'T any one's fault (yours, or otherwise),
There were no signs you missed,
You didn't Fail.

His walk with God, is his own and as the Bible says "faith as small as a mustard seed" is still faith. God knows his heart and his pain and they will work through it. The awesome thing about His love for us is that it can climb walls and walk through locked doors in any one's heart. There is always hope.

Please consider a support group, face to face support, to work through what will be a rather sucky season. There is no pain worse then the loss of a loved one to this disease.

I know you are aware that you aren't alone, and we are all here to help, in whatever way you need, but I am reminding you now (just in case you have any doubt, ever).

Luv Ya Bro! *Hug9*

Sympathy, condolesences, I am sorry.....these are all words that we can say but now can really touch the pain that you are feeling right now. There is one that can touch even the deepest hurt that you have. I pray that you lean on him and let him be your guide and you strength.
Keeping you in my prayers
