[quote name='Sarcastic Stare' date='Oct 17 2004, 01:26 PM'] I'm a guy. it was just suppposed to be a guys night, poker night type deal.
I've got Father Ihaka to talk to, but i don't really know him all that well. he's a transfer from Nigeria and he's been here for a while, but i can't say that i've had too many talks with him other than confession. [/quote]
Talk to him. Father Iheaka is one of the most understanding and helpful priests I have ever come in contact with. Even if it's only to ask for advice. He can give you an honest and helpful answer.

I miss Fr. Iheaka

There you go, Azelia has said it all.

Just to let you know, Stare, I have been in the same situation in my youth...and am currently a parent of seven.

From experience, I can say that the help we think we need to give may not be the help God would have us give.

All the best in JMJ...keep us posted if you wish. You know we're here for you.

Good to hear that you know what you're going to do. The first time I had to deal with this kind of situation I said I'd figure it out later and I never did. Now that you have your mind made up, keep reassuring yourself that it's the right thing to do and remind yourself what to do when it happens. If you do it that way, you are less likely to be scared in the situation and under pressure.

I am praying for you and your friends. Your situation is a common but desperate one especially for kids our age.

God bless you now and always,
Laura

i just talked to the guys involved. daves happy now that his gf crisis is over and doesnt want to drink like that again and they're all not letting ced drink like that either. cdd just doesnt think he has a problem. i told them i dont want to drink anymore and they welcome me as a d.d. for people that will... except ced. he called me a pansy. i know its becuase he's seeing that he's the only one who wont stop. if he's going to be ignorant then ill just go to his parents and turn him in. that should wake him up.

Ced's a dummyhead

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but man, this thread takes me back.

Ced needs to...go away...

Meh, I suppose he is who we should be praying for.

gleep...I don't think I'm exactly qualified to give advice on this one. But I will be praying for you and your friends.
