Hey Julia, I am so glad you are here and are safe. You can start again right now and never have to feel this way again.
I am sorry to read that you are not well, Julia. But Iām glad you responded to this thread.
Just come back and try again. It will work out in the end.
Hey Julia, just come back on board on the sober ship and be safe here
Hey Button.
I miss seeing that hopeful smiling face of yours. When youāre ready, weāll be here. We got your back.
Thereās a reason you started this sober journey in the first place. Probably because youāre life is unmanageable when youāre drinking. Just like mine was. Think about it. Donāt let shame win.

Hi Twizzlers,

@Jasty2 Hey bro, are you ok?
Hey, Iām here 983 days strong.
Still here Jasmine! Just been flying under the radar
Great to hear from you friend. .
Lolā¦I can understand that
So far this has been a great year, 2024. If it keeps going this well, it will be my best year ever.
What I like about this year ā¦
-
I have 2 really good connections in my life, consisting of a Friday face 2 face meeting formerly Reformers Unanimous. And my friend and I started a Tuesday morning Zoom meeting for Christian porn addicts.
-
I mentor a handful of newcomers to the porn ministry that Iāve been a part of for almost ten years. Iāve often been hesitant to make such a time commitment, but realized that ministry is not a burden, but a blessing. There is something about aligning my life according to Godās will that fills my soul in a way that things of the world cannot.
-
My marriage with my wife has taken a deeper direction. Iām really happy in it, and she is too.
-
Everything makes sense now. God didnāt just want me to stop a behavior, a symptom. He wanted to expose deeper problems within me. And they were there. He wanted to make it easier for me. For itās far easier to clean up my inside so that my outside would be clean than it is to clean up my outside hoping that some of that cleanliness might rub off on the inside.
After so many years, decades, I can no longer call myself a chronic relapser. And itās worth it. I would do this again if I had. 30 years to get where I am is a small price to pay for the insight and self awareness that I have gained.
Thank you far asking and thinking of me.
Iāve still been around and will continue to do so.
Thanks for asking Jazzy. You are the best. Iām going to try to do this again. I had friends come out to my house after 4 months of sobriety and probably donāt need to fill you in on the details, so suffice it to say that it is great to see you still poking at me, prodding me on. If I make it through tonight it would be day 1. Iām gonna see if I canāt send some good energy to some struggling folks. That always makes me feel better. Thanks again for checking in.
Hey friend
So good to see you posting and working towards day 1. You are in a safe place among friends⦠stay connected as we do need each other in this journey (especially during the beginning).
Sending strength and love your way - remember that you are not alone
Thank you for checking up on me, my friend. Iām still hovering around the forums, but my mental health has been dipping for weeks, maybe months at this point. Itās been a tough year in my little corner of existence and things are just about starting to turn around. Or, thatās what I keep telling myself. But still here. Still alive. Still sober.
