So now what?

This forum is for those souls 18 years and older who are dealing with some type of addictive behavior whether it be from alcohol, drugs, overeating, fear, worry, sex, etc. Only with help and guidance from God can we ever hope to overcome these addictions. What is impossible for us to do IS POSSIBLE with God. Friends and family of those stricken with addictions are welcome to share as this problem affects more than just the soul entangled in its web.

So now what?

How many of you have asked to join SOS, then a mod asked you to share a bit, so you did, and then you finally are granted access ... and then you are like O.o NOW WHAT??

I prayed lots before I joined. Wanted to make sure God wanted me here. Even prayed that He would allow me access only if it was His will. I have been through a lot in my few years on the planet. I have endured much, cried more, sinned even more, but in the end, I have overcome LOADS through HIS strength and mercy.

I am by no means saying that I have conquered all. I wish I COULD say that, but what I CAN say is the following:

I have received forgiveness, mercy and unconditional love ... and I have been made pure again.

Does that mean that I no longer am tempted? NO
Does that mean I no longer entertain thoughts? NO
Does it mean that I no longer slip up and fall? NO NO and NO

What is God going to do for me and through me in this forum? I am not entirely sure, but I know it will be powerful and special. Time will tell.
I am praying for everyone here already.

Pray for me too, okay?

Poe welcome to the S. O. S. forum. I believe God wanted you here sis. See temptation and struggles happen to everyone, and this forum is here when you are struggling for you to share and receive encouragement from others. This forum is also here for others who need help, and you just might be the one that can share with them. God knows why He brought you to this forum.

luv ya

Thanks guys and girls.

I am filled with a feeling of trepidation, but at the same time also a sense of excitement. I am looking forward to see what God is going to do. My honest prayer is that God will help me to be open, honest, weak and vulnerable, so that HIS strength and mercy can be shown at all times.

Let's do this!

That feeling of trepidation comes from fear sis. It's what the enemy wants you to feel, but remember there is no judgement here. We all fall down, we are all sinners, but we have the blood of Jesus to pick us back up again.
