It is all in my journal. I am over four years free of P and MO. It is my thoughts that have given me trouble lately, which is a reset for me. I am recommitted to by recovery practices, esp. accountability with my trusted APs.

Trying to build a reboot! How's life in the bluegrass land?

I am content. I hope you can say the same! :-)

Yes, fo' sho' baby!

Hello! Thank you for the encouraging words. It is my sincere wish that everyone would know the peace and freedom in Christ's love that I have discovered. To find that, find him, grow in trusting him, and then cling to him with everything you've got. For here is the truth: I carry a lot, but only with Christ's strength -- and only because He is carrying me! :-)

Let's go. This site seems like a great place to evangelize/witness in.

Patience pays

Short reboot, currently. Low day count. I've done some long ones though. Sometimes I call it "shallow". But you and the guys on here know that this process is anything but that...

One day at a time is all we can ever do. Keep focused on the fight today, moment by moment. Keep looking to Christ to live. Onward!

Funny, I wrote my journal post about the idea of just making it through today. Didn't Jesus mention that? Haha, you know it!

I will send you a private message.

Great decision! Feel welcome to reach out to me directly if I can be of help to you in this.

It is always a privilege to walk alongside anyone willing to break free as they find the means to do so. I will message you privately to discuss further.

I just sent you a private message.

Check out my journal, esp. the posts linked in my signature. It is packed full of tips. :-)

Send me a DM any time. I am always happy to help as an AP if I can.

Thank you, Roady! I am so glad we met on this site. I am looking forward to all that God has prepared for us in 2022. It's going to be a very good year!

This will be easier to discuss in a thread rather than here on my profile. I'll send you a message.

I see you and I are citizens of the same country. Ah, the peace that we have found in sweet Freelandia! :-)

Wow! Thank you. Of course, I'm not much to write home about, but Christ -- who is my constant companion and invigorates my every breath -- is the real deal. He is the amazing one!

I'll send you a private message.

Thank you! God is good and he is faithful to provide. Onward to year 3! :-)

You are a great inspiration for everybody!

Thank you! I know you are also quite active -- more than I can keep up with! :-)

Romans6-8 is something I revisit regularly. It sums up the Gospel quite well! Self-loathing is simply another form of pride: It keeps the self as the primary focus. Humility is simply taking the focus off of you. I have found Luke 17:5-10 very helpful in this regard.
