Traditionally manifested as uncontrollable shaking and screaming psychotic episodes. This entry brought me to tears. I didn’t realize that alcohol withdrawal could be so violent.

But I took the time to drill down to find the root of my problem, which turned out not to be God, Jesus or the Bible, but instead the people from the churches I was raised in and all the crap that went on in those churches. That's what my brother's problem was as well. We had a very long conversation and talked about the ways people liked to use scriptures to bash each other over the head. Most of the time they don't know what they're talking about and the scriptures mean something totally different than what they're trying to make them say. When I started reading the Bible with a different perspective and started doing some research on the context of certain situations written about in it, my whole view changed. That was my brother's problem as well. Like me, he felt angry and just wanted no part of it all. But after some introspection we both can see where our real problem lies. It took me months to get there, but when I shared with my brother some of the answers I'd found to the problems I had, he could see it instantly in himself. I think I'll talk about context sometime. That would make for a good post. - Donny - Steve,
