well i'm glad to know you're no longer into coke and meth, but yeah i feel ya man... i lost my mom a few years ago too, i basically went through this same path, i thot i was strong enough to handle anything in life until she passed away because of cancer, and then everything just crashed, it was like... i hated God, i neglected everything i knew and chose to do what i wanted because at the time it felt like God wouldnt answer my prayers anyways.. I prayed and prayed that she would be healed.. but God still took her away from me... so i felt as if God rejected me... but in a series of events... and ofcourse, as i grew more mature through God allowing certain people to come into my life, i came to the conclusion that God was good
even though i didnt get what i wanted... i know this is a hard time for you but i feel as if though that since God can put people in my life to help me realize the truth, God could put people in youre life and open opportunities in your life to help you
what i had realized was that first off, God will not allow you to go through something that you can't handle, and you posting this on a public forum shows to me that you're atleast trying to get help, which means that you are willing to go on, which means that you are strong enough for this, secondly, trials and tribulations are allowed by God to happen in order to grow our faith in him, if everything was so hunky dory... then our faith would be so small
thirdly, God uses the bad things that happen to us for good, i know it's so easy for us to blame God for everything, but in truth it is him that's taking the bad things we do to ourselves as humans, and making new opportunities or good things to happen as a result of the bad things... for example, before my passed away, i was entering into college and i didnt know what i wanted to do with my life, but because of her death i chose to go into the medical field and attempt to help those who would be going through the same thing... i'm not tellin you all this info jus to gloat about how good i have it now, but instead to show you that there is light at the end of the tunnel... and i impress on you not to give up on God, i really do... he's workin on something good.. even though you dont see it now and even though you might be angry at him... i also really recommend that you call out to him again... he promises to show himself when you call to him

God will make your path straight.
Your mind will open.
Your soul set free.
Your life will make sense.

Just have faith, if not then pray for faith.

for one
alcohol is more harsh on the body and its effects then weed.
so saying you quit harder drugs like weed but turned to alcohol is incredibly fucking dumb.


that set aside..

people die. you got to learn to accept death. i know, easier said then done. trust me.
hopefully your mother had faith and she is in heaven. if thats so then there is no reason to bad sad at all... now if your mom is burning in hell for the rest of eternity then theres something to grieve about.

but why the hell would any of that make you lose your faith?
because your life has a bad moment? thats life buddy. i feel sad if you havent realized it yet.
EVERYBODY has shitty times in life. wether your religious or not.

not everybody has faith, and thats where you lucked out. its not like you are being punished, or god is doing it to you. dont lose your faith, ever.

We are living in the time of Great Apostacy near the very end of the age just prior to Jesus' return. We were warned about this by Jesus in "Matthew 24"

Google it.


AMEN on that.

I will reply more when I have more time.

no offense but overly simplistic answers do not help. If you've been through a genuinely hard time/point in your life, you'd know that.
Instead try to understand where people are coming from. Simply put, show love. Do that by putting yourself out there and showing that you actually care about people, and their needs.
It's what Jesus did and it's why he was so effective in reaching people. It wasn't just because he was God. It was because he understood what it meant to go through a hard time.

Saying "turn to Jesus" or "turn to God" simply won't cut it. It doesn't show love. It's like a hit and run.


thats all you need to know really...Turn to God , accept Jesus. Read the good book. The bible as all the answers

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

1 Peter 4:11 (King James Version) If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

JUST DO IT
turn to jesus
follow the 10 simple commandments.
read the bible.
think how you should be.

the greater a problem you overcome in your life the stronger you will look in gods eyes, rather than someone who had a perfect life.
