If you are genetically disposed to homosexuality or alcoholism, does that mean it is not a serious sin?
Both alcoholics and homosexuals, along with their enablers, argue that alcoholism and homosexuality are genetically predestined. If this is so, does a genetic predisposition absolve the alcoholic or homosexual from serious sin? Or is one predisposed to alcoholism or homosexuality obliged to abstain from drinking or homosexual relations and avoid the occasion of sin, i.e., remove himself or herself from alcoholic or homosexual temptations?In plain language, if you have a weakness for booze or sodomy, is it okay with God if you indulge, or do you have a special obligation to steer clear of the bars and bathhouses where you are going to lose it?
Is this normal alcoholism?
I have been sober 11 days and I still can't stop shaking and sweating and, I'm still feeling the withdrawal
Are there different levels of alcoholism?
Hi everyone my name is Marlene I'm 17 years old my family drinks a lot, not me though which is surprising it kind of runs in the family. Anyway I have an aunt that's lost MAJOR weight in less than a year she shakes and seems to be drunk every time i see her. It seems to get worse and worse. My brother is the same but I see him sober here and there but that never seems to last for more than a couple of hours. Question..Are there different levels of alcoholism? Now to me...when i think of an alcoholic I think of someone hiding bottles in their desk drawers at work, carrying pints in their purse, sleeping with a bottle on the night stand to grab first thing in the morning..etc. My sisters husband was telling me last night that he thinks my aunt and my brother are alcoholics. I tried telling him maybe its not THAT bad. I mean is this how alcoholism starts? and then it progresses??
Is it any of your business? A problem with alcoholism?
I was raised on the belief that " a village raises a child" in the many places I've been this is still the motto. However, from what I've seen in the American and Canadian suburbs only the parents of the child get involved, nobody else is allowed to except school teachers to a certain extent .Is it like that in every suburb? Here is the dilemma My cousin and her husband have 2 children. One is age 13 and one is age 7. The husband is an alcoholic and the mother denies this problem. I am too young to talk to her directly as she is twice my age. I work with at risk children and their children definitely have issues because of their father's heavy drinking.My biggest concern is the father's judgement. When drunk often he swears up a storm at the boys, chokes them, or engages in dangerous behaviour such as driving drunk with the boys. My mother addressed the situation saying to go to al anon. She denied there was a problem. Do I not get involved because they're " not my kids" or does it take a village to raise a child?Suburban parents I'm interested in what you have to say Kat HYou are so right. If people don't want your help you are wasting your own time. My concern is for the safety of the boys. The best I can do is when they come to play with my kids teaching them about making safe choices. I've spoken to the 7 yr old about making healthy choices and when he's an adult not drinking to get drink. He has explained to me that he knows because it affects your behavior and your liver. Smart kid mEn7alI appreciate your response. However, not getting involved would mean no child abuse is ever reported. This is why, and I work with foster children, there is a hidden crisis of child abuse in the suburbs that goes unreported.PreggoCPS has been called 4x's in the past, once even by the father's own parents. Nothing changed b c they make a very good living. You'd be surprised CPS turns down a lot of cases. I work with at risk youth including foster children. I worked with a girl whose mother was a crack addicted prostitute but got to keep her because she still clothed and fed her.Emoja What you explained is exactly how I feel this is exactly what I have been doing and continue to do so.Another option is to simply care for those children. Pick them up regularly, take them out to do things, out for dinner, to the park. Teach them how to be confident and stand up for themselves. Have them sleep over often, be there for them, become a mentor and a role model for them.

HUGE secret, alcoholism?
Ok, this may be long. So I have had suspicions about my dad because he's always leaving empty alcohol bottles around, like anything that's alcohol, he WILL drink it. And every night, his balance gets bad, and his speech gets slurred. So I thought that he was just tired you know bad balance, slurred speech. But then on Sunday, I'm 13 by the way and my two brothers are in college and my mother passed away three years ago so I have no one with me here, just me and my dad. but anyway, on Sunday my dad got really, really, really drunk and I got Really, really, really scared so I called my aunt to come get me and they told me that my dad has had a drinking problem since before I was born And this was like a whole different story, a whole different person So anyway, I spent two days at my aunt's house and today I'm back at my house. But here's the problem One, he wont talk to me, he is ignoring me like the plague and I really don't like being ignored for something that is absolutely not my fault. Is it? I mean it's not like I tell him to get drunk every night yes. EVERY night and it's not my fault that he got really drunk and scared me so bad I was shaking like crazy. And he's just ignoring me He's mad Im sure that I know, but really? Is he serious? How could a person do this? He's making me feel like a pile of crap because HE chose to get drunk. And the second problem is that Im really afraid that if I try and talk to him, he's gonna hurt me.... badly. he has quite a temper and has even told me things like " You almost just got hit Don't talk to me like that " And I don't want to bother my family anymore because all this has done is stressed than out. I don't know what to do My aunt wants me to take counseling and I want to too, because i will do ANYTHING to stay out of the house. The truth is I just don't feel safe here. What should I do? PLEASE HELP ME
