Prayer sent brother!
Didn't mean to skip you're post BUCKNUUTS it is good to hear you've realized you don't need alcohol.I haven't posted here in years I haven't even looked at the site in forever but after a long lay off off from lifting I have started to train again so I logged in here for info and motivation and first thing I noticed was that this thread died. What a shame I thought because I was inspired by this thread when I regularly frequented this site. Today I notice it's been revived. So let me say that I could use your prayers brothers for the past year and half I stopped lifting weights and started lifting the bottle most every single day. Needless to say I am woefully out of shape physically but even more so mentally and spiritually. I have recently discovered that I don't need alcohol(thank God) I just wanted it.I pray that I will get my head out of my rear end and with God's help restore my health and my marriage which is not great at the moment. DD 2 Years ago when I was on AM you were having job related issues I hope you haven't been dealing with it all this time that is a lot of stress for a man to carry. You will be in my prayers brother.
My desire for reviving this was selfish really. I'll explain...I haven't posted here in years I haven't even looked at the site in forever but after a long lay off off from lifting I have started to train again so I logged in here for info and motivation and first thing I noticed was that this thread died.

Needless to say I am woefully out of shape physically but even more so mentally and spiritually. I have recently discovered that I don't need alcohol(thank God) I just wanted it. Many of the problems that have made depressed and feeling like drowning my sorrows have been resolved, not due to anything I've done because only a coward hides behind substances to deal with his issues. I pray that I will get my head out of my rear end and with God's help restore my health and my marriage which is not great at the moment.

Wow that's heavy man you will definitely be in my prayers. Maybe you only think your motivation to revive this thread was for selfish reasons. I sought this thread out and was disappointed to find it dormant. That was 2 days ago and today I find it revived. Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence. I know you don't either.I have begun to train my mind again as well as my body by spending time in His word and in prayer. It's only been just short of 2 weeks but I feel better already. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. That passage of scripture is the VERY one I have always clung to and have always been awed by. How can I do that? I have always wondered. Christ love for the church (us) is so perfect and selfless to the point of laying down his life for us. It's daunting every time I think about it but I know it's His will for me to be that man for my wife and while I have failed miserably I have tried to keep this commandment and am committed to spending my life with her. Another passage of scripture that has always kind of blown me away is 1 Peter 5:7 (ESV) 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.God creator of the universe cares about me specifically? that's is hard to wrap the mind around isn't it? Take care of yourself man I'll be praying for your situation and mine....so I BUMP'd this thread for a selfish reason. To be obedient to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to reach out to someone else instead of focusing on myself.Obedience is the prerequisite to blessings. (sorry for the long-winded back story )I'm grateful you have been delivered to sobriety. You can return to a fit and healthy self in no time. He is ready and willing to heal anything and everything you ask of Him. In regard to your marriage, I am convicted by this scripture more than anything - Ephesians 5:25.
This probably applies to everyone who has tried to live a life of faith, of trust in God. I guess that's Part of that sin nature we are born with to not trust Him when we've been commanded to repeatedly. I have a lifetime of repeated failure in that regard.Now, as I write this I am moved to see how right now I feel like her, a scared "Bri-ANNA" - too terrified of the lightning to see what He is revealing to me - the glorious work of His that I am surrounded by. Why must I require these valleys of darkness to grow..."
Couple years away for me too brother. How have you been?I'm glad to see this up and started again. Haven't been on this forum in a Long time.

i thought he would have been more pissed when you mods took away his rep points...he just shrugged it off and told me he was gonna pass me up anyways, lol. i actually believe he would have!!!http://anabolicminds.com/forum/redefine-nutrition/260772-snagencyv2-0-a.html
He and I had history. Contrary to popular opinion he did practice humility and integrity with me in our dealings and was always respectful to me and accountable for his actions on the board.
We established a report that was not as intimate as many of you have but I always enjoyed our infrequent on and off line banter. He was immensely passionate about his ideology as well as quick to humor and jest.

He was a monster of a physical specimen and too young to pass.
RIP Steve! May God be with you and your family.
I PRAY FOR MAY SISTER WHO IS SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION. AMEN....This is not a faith debate thread. This is not a God debate thread.
Insensitivity, mockery and disrespect will not be tolerated in this thread.
If you got 'em, post them. You don't believe in God or a god or prayer give it to someone who does and let them do so on your behalf.
The world if full of hurting, lost, confused, broken, helpless and hopeless, fearful and lonely men, woman, boys, girls, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers.
At this very moment in our very own midst there are those who suffer from and struggle with addiction and alcoholism, physical and psychological handicaps, disease, guilt, shame, victims (and perpetrators) of sexual, physical, emotional and psychological abuse, divorce, abandonment, rejection and the pain of lost friends and loved ones who are desperate for hope, trust, understanding, forgiveness, peace and comfort.
I am one. How about you?
Praying with you!I PRAY FOR MAY SISTER WHO IS SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION. AMEN....

Praying for him tyga man!My grandfather just went into the hospital with chest pains, he's 87yrs old.

We are created to be in fellowship with one another. We are not supposed to deal with life, good and bad, alone. Society teaches us different - so consider the source.Posting in a thread like this is way out of my comfort level. I am not looking for attention or pity. I just want to release and cope with the feelings and images in my head. I was involved in a very bad car wreck about 5 1/2 months ago. I was awake and saw everything that happened. I watched my good friend get thrown and killed. I watched my dad get beat around in the truck and thrown out. I stayed in luckily but suffered injuries that have left me unable to work or lift yet. The pain is one thing i can deal with but the images in my head are really taking a toll on me. I re-live the wreck multiple times daily, every day. I kept my dad alive in the ditch as he choked on blood. He broke his back in 4 places,collapsed lung and his skull was shattered too bad to repair. After 2 months in ICU,He is home and recovering but he is and will not ever be the same. I never thought anything could affect me like this and never have i felt so weak. No amount of self medication has helped. I have started counseling to deal with the ptsd. I know i have a long way to go and i know i will never be the same. I've never been a religious person but for some reason i'm still here. Hour by hour is how i cope now but i will never give up. Thanx for this thread. As hard as this is, getting it off my chest helps a little more each time.
wise words. Praying for you man.We are created to be in fellowship with one another. We are not supposed to deal with life, good and bad, alone. Society teaches us different - so consider the source. You have great courage to come out of your comfort zone. I can quote you a whole lot of scripture but right now I want you to know that I share in your suffering. I too have things I cannot unsee - ever. This is short and brief (at work) but know - He listens to a man when He seeks Him with all His heart. Be blessed!
Prayers.wise words. Praying for you man. Also if you guys could pray for a fellow teacher of mine. His daughter just turned one (was 4 months premature) and has now been hospitalized due to breathing problems. Also that my dad will get off of his pain meds he is addicted to. Thanks guys
