Searching...

I was baptised a Roman Catholic, but, I ended my involvement with that church at age 13. I have had no affiliation with any churches or religions since that time. My family eventually left that church as well, only to become Bible Baptists. I come from a broken home, which led me to a troubled childhood riddled with drug and alcohol abuse, and several suicide attempts.

I'm an honest, hardworking, loyal individual. I turned 40 years of age on Dec. 22nd, 2007. I have three sons, the oldest is 21 and the younger is 18. My youngest son would have been 17 in Feb. We lost him to  SIDS when he was 8 weeks old. I became very closed off to the concept of God at that point. My relationship with God was again weakened, with the loss of two siblings more than a decade ago. My oldest Sister died in a traffic accident and one month later my oldest Brother lost his battle with AIDS.

I investigated spirituality to some extent at that point, but family, and financial difficulties caused me to abandon that pursuit.

The boys mother and I had a very tumultuous 17 year relationship, which ended a few years ago. Over the course of this relationship I became a problematic drinker. My life gradually became more and more unmanageable, due, in part, to my drinking.  I have just recently been released from rehab. for my alcohol abuse and I am trying to work the 12 step program suggested by Alcoholics Anonymous.

I am in need of a personal relationship with a higher power. I would like to come to know God as I can understand him. I'm at a point in my life when I can finally take the time to get to understand myself. I am actively trying to strengthen myself mentally, physically, and spiritually.

This is why I am at Beliefnet, and, trying to make friends. I hope to learn from people, and maybe they may have something to learn from me as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Peace and good luck on your journeys.

Oh yea... " Good Luck With That."
