Closed - Checking in daily to help maintain focus #5

Can I say at this point please @forged I showed my disgusted at a picture on the crush thread. Darren put up a picture and he wasn’t to know the distress it would cause. He apologised, he was only trying to have fun as we all were. He was just trying to find a picture of the most appalling woman he could…he did a good job she was really fucking horrible!.. It upset me because I live near where all this happened. I was abused as a child (again no body was to know) and that picture reminds me of some of the awful things that happened. They still haven’t found all of the CHILDRENS bodies and I don’t think they will. I was not the only one upset by it and I am glad it was taken down but I must also point out that I didn’t contact sassy some of the others must of done and I’m glad they did. I do feel that it has all blown up out of proportion though. I’m grateful of sassy and all the other lovely moderators. People come here to feel safe, we each do not know what the others have been through, no one is to know. I think this should all just calm down so that we can all focus on the reason we are here and that is for the compassion, understanding and being able to help each other through our addictions. Wishing you all a happy new year guys xx

Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind, … I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

  • Phil 3:13-14 NET

    “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me.”—I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.—The one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

    Do you not know that all the runners in a stadium compete, but only one receives the prize? So run to win. Each competitor must exercise self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.—We must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.
    John 17:24, 2 Tim 1:12, Phil 1:6, 1 Cor 9:24-25, Heb 12:1-2
