Answer 1

I got to my own mind and abilities to reason. If you are looking for a religion to do this, then fine. but you must realize the problem is with YOU, not your faith or lack there of.

Answer 2

Thank you very much for asking this question. Have the missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints come and explain God's Plan of Happiness, also known as The Plan of Salvation or The Plan of Redemption, for you and your family. I did this thirty years ago and it has without a doubt been the greatest thing that has ever happened in my life. It has helped me to find fulfillment in so many ways. You can look at www.mormon.com or www.lds.org. God bless you my dear brother. You could also call the missionary department in Salt Lake City and they will be glad to send someone to visit or look for the young men or young women or even a senior couple with the glow about them. I invited two young men in for a drink of water when I was eighteen years old and I cannot begin to tell you all the blessings which this has meant to me for the past thirty years or so. Also, always pray and search the scriptures. Fast for a day when necessary to feel a special closeness with God. You are a child of God and He loves you. Go for it! You will be extremely and eternally grateful you did. I would give this same advice to anyone, but especially those who are being prompted by the Holy Ghost to search. I will pray for you also. You can look in the phone book or call information to find one of the local wards or branches of the Church near you. Go visit in the morning. Sunday school begins around 10:00 usually and Sacrament meeting about 10:45. It will be the beginning of a new day for you and your family.

Answer 3

The answer is within you. You have the power to change. There is help out there. But you know what that positive change is. Your a smart person. And been sick of everything you just mentioned is a great start. You want people to laugh with you and not at you. You can do this. Trust me. And its so easy to find a new friends at different places that don't drink. Don't laugh but try your first step up the stairs of a church. If you don't like that route just leave and try something else. Your going to change.
Have a nice evening.

Answer 4

I think you've just taken the first step.
No one person is a mountain unto themselves, and the strongest person is one who can ask for support when they want to change something in their life.
I went to a personal growth workshop, and asked for help along with 40 other people or so, and together we all were able to make AMAZING changes in our lives by teaching eachother and learning from eachother. Open and honest communication is all that is needed, but a crash course is available through personal growth. This is not to knock religion, that is a great support group to, but it is not the only way to grow and change as a person.

Answer 5

You have to desire change from your heart not just the outside habits. It's not until you genuinely desire change in your life that you will change. Having a life changing experience of turning your life over to Christ is a good start. You don't become legalistic though, you allow Christ's love you show you and give you the freedom you need. Most of the time people's habits just drop away as they're filled with the Holy Spirit.

Answer 6

You just started on the right foot, by letting go of the negative things that make you weak. Have a positive life with God, have a personal relationship with God, and Jesus by becoming best friends with God.

Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him. Psalm 25:14

You will never grow a close relationship with God by just attending church once a week or even having a daily quiet time. Friendship with God is built by sharing all your life experiences with him.
Of course, it is important to establish the habit of a daily devotional time with God, but he wants more than an appointment in your schedule. He wants to be included in every activity, every conversation, every problem, and even every thought. You can carry on a continuous, open-ended conversation with him throughout your day, talking with him about whatever you are doing or thinking at that moment.

Pray to God when you need him, be patient with God, ask for protection when you feel you need it, be sincere in prayers.
God bless you

To Begin your Trip:
Read Romans 10:9
That is Just for You.

Answer 9

School. Get some more education. The schoolwork will keep you out of the bars, improve your ability to think, and give you a leg up in your employment as well as anything else you do. It does not matter so much what you study (although obviously useful is good) as long as you study something that you are interested in. You will probably get many responses advocating religious pursuits; these are a waste of time.

Answer 10

Well, I'd study religions to see which path is best for you. Whatever path you choose, find that faith's local institution and/or websites for it, and network with people who can help you move away from self-destruction. I'd also seek therapy just so you have someone to talk to about this and so that you can work on overcoming your dangerous lifestyle, because it's difficult to do this on your own. Best of luck to you ;-)

Answer 11

try taking etiquette calsses. Those help bring order in your life. Get visited by a feng shui guy to re-arrange your room and make change and then try something new. Like try taking rock climbing or dancing lessons and go to art museums and take trips to cool little towns. Go to conneticut for fall and winter and New York in the spring and some other places you have your heart set on to go to! e-mail me at [e-mail]
