Impending Divorce

I'm in the fight of my life, I'm a piece of crap alcoholic that was bullied like you can not even believe. I'm about to lose my wife, my kids, my job......everything. ive tried going to doctors, therapists, counselors........I don't where to turn

 

Don't do anything that would be dangerous to yourself or others, OK?

You are not alone in going through the divorce part either.

 

As cold and unusual as it may seem, you will live through this divorce issue. Indeed, if the alcohol is running your life, that would be the first thing to take care of and I know it is easier said than done. Others have gotten that demon out of their life, you can too!

Only time will tell if you will lose your wife and children. They have probably seen you at your worst and at the very least, you can understand that it is best for them to not continue being around that lifestyle.

As far as jobs go, there are others out there right?

 

If you are a veteran of the US military, they have a crisis line that you can call and talk with or get help through. In addition, there should be equally any amount of phone numbers in your local area...(S D) that you can call.

HVAC techs are in demand all over the place, man! The job should be the least worry.

 

Keep talking to us here. Even as things get tough we can talk about everything that you may need to get ahold of your major issues. That would be best as if Alcohol is a why you turn to things when they get hard, it’s time to fight that off and get on a better path. We’re here to help.

 

Sorry things are so hard right now. Do you have withdrawals from alcohol when you are not drinking? Or even worse, seizures? If so, you have a relatively emergent medical issue. You can go to an ER and let them know that you suffer severe withdrawal, seizures, DT’s etc and they can help you at least sober up safely but temporarily. They can give you medications and keep you in a controlled environment for a bit, that will help you get over the hump. After that you will need to get rid of all the booze in your house (including the hidden stuff) and just try to focus on your family. It’s tough, bro. I feel for ya. I’m a paramedic and I see severe withdrawals from patients all the time. I even recently helped a close friend try to figure a similar situation out. It wasn’t easy, but he’s doing better now. Hang in there.

 

Steve- I have been through a pretty bad divorce. At one point I was on my knees praying I didn’t loose my boys, and was just frustrated with the entire situation. I hadto havea sense of humor with it, that got me through. I have a great buddy who is not a believer, but helped me fight when needed, but let it roll off my back when the time called for it. You have great support here, andsome of us have been through it before. I’ll shoot you a message. Praying for you buddy!

 

Hang in there SD Steve. You've got a lot of friends here that are willing to help you.

 

Yes I have bad withdrawals. No, I have never had a seizure, but have had all other classic signs of alcohol withdrawal. Doctors have given me medications to relieve the symptoms, but the bad dreams and shakes are sometimes to much to handle, and no I do NOT burn wood when I have drinking heavily. I don't want to burn my house down.....

 

When the symptoms get to be too much to handle, can you have someone drive you to an ER? They can help you through that phase with additional meds and IV mixes like banana bags.

 

Thank you for everyone's support tonight, I just needed to vent!! I'm going to try and sleep tonight......thank you so much you guys.....and gals

 

Tomorrow is a new day, brother. Good luck. Keep us posted.

 

#1...you are NOT a piece of crap, you ARE a CHILD OF GOD. JESUS died for you, HE will never leave you. JESUS doesn't care what shape you are in, what you have done, HE JUST WANTS YOU...I have been through a divorce, lost a job...you have admitted you need help, that's a big start, have you been to AA?? We care about you here on FHC. I will be praying for you, Steve.
Father GOD, we lift Steve up to YOU, right now, Lord. Please place YOUR HANDS on him, let him feel YOUR TOUCH, Lord, take the taste of alcohol from his mouth, let it make him SICK if he drinks it, bind this demon in his life, LORD help him now. He needs YOU in his life, break every chain that binds him, break this addiction. We ask that YOU fill him with YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, change him from the inside out. JESUS, touch his wife and kids, bring them under YOUR LOVE. and guidance. Restore this family. Raise this family up, that they may serve YOU, not a bottle, not a family breakdown. Show YOUR POWER in this situation. Lord, if they don't know YOU, DRAW them close to YOU, JESUS. Help them get that personal relationship with YOU, JESUS.

Steve, do you believe this...

that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:15‭-‬17 NKJV

JESUS CAN and WILL HELP YOU and your family.

Will it be easy??...no
Will it be worth it???...yes

You just have to let go and turn it over to JESUS...HE CARES for YOU.

In JESUS NAME we pray for you, Steve

AMEN.

 

Prayers are with you, brother. We all got lows in out lives, it all depends on how we crawl out of it. There are times that I want to say, screw it all and leave everything behind. My job sucks, it basically rules my life, my wife and I get along for the most part, but when we disagree, it gets bad. Seems like I can never do enough or make enough money. Sometimes I just want to pack my truck with what I need and can fit, and disappear. But where can I go? In reality, nowhere. I don't want to leave my son, my house, my blood, sweat and tears I have put into my property. In actuality, and the end of the day, or end of the fight, I know my wife really needs me, and I need her. She would never be able to keep up the house and property without me, she wouldn't even be able to make the mortgage and bills, so we would both end up homeless.
Sometimes it helps to hear others stories. Get yourself some help. Alcohol is not a good thing. I know you probably hear that plenty, but try. Maybe you can start going back up that mountain we call life. I know this isn't the right section of the forum for all of this, but we are all human, and when one needs help, we step in. God Bless.

 

AMEN brother.

 

Your NOT a piece of crap !! You admit you have a problem and you love your family....You CAN work through this. Bullying is a terrible thing and I'm sorry someone got enjoyment at your expense. We are all here for you now and always, please keep reaching out to every possible means of support.

 

Well said T.Jeff Veal Amen. SD Steve hang in there man a lot of us have been in the same boat but through God's grace we continue on. Prayers inbound.

 

Steve,
When we are weak, the Lord will carry the load for us. You have to take the first step, though.

Take a step of faith and ask the Lord to come into your life. God will hear your prayers.
Even if you think it would take a miracle, then thats what you need to pray for.


Say. Father God, I need you in my life. Lord, I need you to take control....

Pour out your heart, Steve. HE is listening.

 

AMEN.

 

Got some great guys going to bat for you Steve, don’t give up!! Keep sharing!!! Talking helps!! Especially when you have a bunch of ears who want to help you buddy. Minute to minute my friend that’s all we really have anyway. What I’m trying to say is try not to get overwhelmed with the big picture, at first just focus on things by the minute,hour, etc. God loves you, you are his son, believe in him, call on him, he cares. Keep us posted Steve. I will be praying for you throughout the day. Find Gods word/ bible use it in your life like you use your chainsaw when you need firewood. Grab the Bible when you feel the need to go for the bottle. Let him speak wisdom into your life buddy!! Keep us posted Steve & DON’T GIVE UP!!!!!
