tohelpafriend,

One of the more successful places to receive help is AA where they allow each person to draw from their personal power greater than themselves, of their personal choosing. AA is a spirtual program, not a program to promote any specific religion. And it also doesnt do finances, romances, or politics. So in essence it is a free spirtual offering of support that is truely about each individual without pushing any individual in any specific organized faith, political view, or bearing the burden to solve any member's financial issues. It is for each human no matter what circumstance they live in. And it is and has been a very successful program to help people who suffer from alcohol and drug addiction to find a way to improve their personal lives WITH SUPPORT OF OTHER'S WHO WISH TO DO THE SAME.

So, we can still offer prayers and spiritual support here with other members, support that "frees" that member to be whatever they want spiritually, it is not about any specific faith, it is more about a spiritual support from the various members here when that support is truely needed.

Therefore as we all come to PC we are not supposed to feel we are judged by our faith, political views or person wealth, it is about our personal struggles with whatever disorder or personal issue we are trying to overcome.

However, it is nice that there are some special forums that do have certain faith groups that some can go and find a more personal way to receive support, and it is hoped that in these groups there is no disrespect, if one doesn't want to be in that group, then one should respect those that do.

PEACE TO ALL!!!! MAY WE ALL FIND SUPPORT HERE AND RESPECT EACH OTHER'S STRUGGLES TO FIND PERSONAL PEACE AND WELL BEING.

Very Sincerely, and Respectfully,
Open Eyes
