    guys, im deliriously happy that im nearly out.

    my mind is now free of morbid, gloomy thoughts of the future. its a freedom that is indeed priceless.

    i now feel less need to drink (although im having a beer to celebrate just now)!!

    I have been for some time atheist, i doubt it will ever change. when we had our 2 kids i just about had a breakdown over how much i loved them and still do. i thought `how can a loving god allow such bad things to happen to children` - the reasoning book maintains that god doesnt cause such things, but i feel if there was one, he couldnt so much as glance at what is going on, without acting.

    other troubling thoughts - `what if my children needed a blood transfusion?` `how come all the good/human people keep leaving the truth?` `why does god require me to knacker myself going to meetings, f/s etc but tell me that his comands are not burdensome?`

    but now....

    its all gone, and what a relief. a bright future ahead for my beutiful, honest, loving family.

    thanks for your ears and those who have helped me out over the past 2-3 days. all of this concludes a fight i have had for some 6 years (for 4 i believed). a decade wasted (apart from my lovely wife and 2 adored children)

    " i thought `how can a loving god allow such bad things to happen to children` - the reasoning book maintains that god doesnt cause such things, but i feel if there was one, he couldnt so much as glance at what is going on, without acting."

    I have reached the conclusion that god just doesn't like to get involved.

    Pleased to hear you're feeling better! What did you say to you wife when she got home last week?
    As beer is one of the main food groups, I can't see any reason to reduce your drinking excessively.
    Cheers, Pete.
