Celebrating 3 years of freedom

Just wanted to mark the occasion. May 26 marked three years for me of freedom from P, MO, and all sexually lustful ideation.

Very little has changed in my recovery practice over the last two years:

• Daily confession that I am powerless against my tendency to choose the wrong thing, esp. in the area of sexual imagery
• Daily, moment-by-moment dependence on Jesus Christ, my higher power
• Daily check-ins with my AP network
• Ongoing commitment to my "No PMO" commitments

I still do not trust myself in this area. I might not ever. That is okay. I am free and at peace. That is a prize I am unwilling to let go, and I will fight fiercely to retain it. I remain committed to do whatever it takes to keep PMO abolished from my life, not allowing any of those deadly ideas to begin to take root in my mind or heart.

I got free. It was the hardest fight of my life. Now, I'm staying free. You can get free and stay free, too.

I got desperate to change. I became willing to do whatever it took. I made some big sacrifices. I did the work (and continue doing it to this day). All the details are in my journal for those who are curious. Start with the posts linked in my signature.

I am praying that all who read these words will find themselves compelled to take the next step into recovery. There is only one day that matters in recovery, and it is the only one in which we can choose to take the next right step: TODAY.

Make it count!

 

Thank you, my friend! Of course, as you rightly say, my faithfulness is only as solid as my connection with Christ, who is the true source of our strength. It is his steadiness that we all need! Fortunately, it is freely available to all who seek it.
