Thank Uncle Bola for all your posts on Facebook. Let me confess that you are perhaps one of the few reasons why i come on Facebook. I have learned so much from your writings and i am getting better by the day in my walk with Christ and relationship with my wife. Thank you sir.
I have an issue bothering me so much. I gave my life to Christ early this year. I have seen life in and out. All my friends are still in the world there. By virtue of my job as a PR person, i have to be out there, making friends, meeting people. I have been drinking since my secondary school days and i have so many friends.
I got married seven years ago to a lady who is a Christian from Ibadan. She was against my habits and I promised her that i will quit drinking and smoking and keeping late nights. And truly i did. I stopped smoking, drinking and began attending Redeemed. I was born an Anglican.
One of my challenges now is that i am always lonely. I am very careful about church friends. I have no new friends. All my old friends are still my friends. I quit or limit seeing them because seeing them is another temptation to beer. If i stay at home, the home is so boring, especially on weekends. I seem not to have any more friends. I am a go-go person. But since i became a Christian, i feel bored. How long will i go on reading the bible and listening to gospel music at home. Wont i be tired? My wife is a business woman who travels and stays in her shop always.When i am lonely at home, I walk across the streets sit with neighbors and i will be the only odd man out. Now, i found myself taking a bottle secretly and licking TomTom. I hate to see myself hiding from my wife on account of beer.
I was on a month leave last August. I nearly die because i was bored through out. Can you advise me on the truth of Alcohol? Is it a sin to drink? Cant i manage even just two bottles? It wouldn’t make a drunkard. I see it as just a thing to while away the time with. Everyday i am bored at home after work. I need to get my balance back. I am not smoking, no women and i am sincere to my wife and marriage. But i need to go out, see friends and enjoy my life. I am not a baby. I know my drinking limits.
Please help me. I dont mind if you publish this on your wall for other peoples views.
