I appreciate your honesty, and by your answers it sounds like your hungry for something. (Not Food!)
Have you ever had a relationship with your savior? Have you ever tried trusting God? Were you hurt by somebody or a church??...
My answers to the same questions are totally opposite than yours. And I will tell you this much, before I was a Christian I had the same exact answers as you. I was unsatisfied, unhappy, searching for something real, out of control, and thats why I turned to alcohol and drugs. They gave me a temporary satisfaction.
When you trust Jesus as your Lord and savior your life changes drasticly. A peace comes over you, because you know that God is in control of your life, you recieve this awesome joy in your heart even in the midst of difficulty cause you know that everything will work out for the better. It always does for those that love the Lord. You recieve a deep fullfilling satisfaction of just being alive and having a relationship with the creator of the earth, and the searching and constant striving for more stops, because you FOUND IT!!!! These are things that you can only experiance when you truly trust Christ.
Just to let you know that being a Christian does not mean that life is easy or everything is grand all the time. In fact its probably a little harder as we are not part of this world however we are in it. The difference is our hope in the Lord and our tust in him.
