I am not selling anything (maybe some software someday, but that's a different topic). But I think about things like this a lot and have posted many thoughts, over time. I hope you don't mind but this is my best work in this area, so far, over some years.

(Truly, we do not need to be alone, or give up. I have been thru many things that ... leave me grateful now. So I hope this can be useful to someone....)

There are people who can help, with guidance, and in other ways. One list (many resources): http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854601245.html . Another (having the Church as help in life): http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854581807.html . Another: extended family. Another (general life lessons and resources found, including overcoming addictions, but much more): http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854592298.html . Another (pray): http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854585359.html . I have learned by long and much-repeated personal experience (the easy way and the hard way) that prayer makes a huge difference, if we are willing to do our part and be obedient to God when we know what we should be doing: http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854580889.html . And how I learned that: http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854587400.html . More resources (better than the above stuff): https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng

Wishing the best for everyone in tough circumstances (which seems to be all of us at one time or another)!

Is this SEO spam? Every comment seems to have numerous links in it

No (but I can see why you ask). It is my simple attempt to share info that helps people. I have put a lot of work into it, and each part seemed relevant to the discussion (which is what motivated me). It is easier than posting the notes every time. Again, there is nothing for sale there. If you look at the material and have suggestions for how best to answer questions without pasting long paragraphs I have already put elsewhere, or other suggestions, I appreciate that.

Maybe an alternative could have been to make one page with all those on it, so just one link (but I was getting tired). :) Edit: Another way to see it is: I have a lot to say, but rather than put it all here, I link to it, when it seems relevant and like it could be helpful.
