    Day 5

    Another difficult day. I’m struggling with a lot of the guilt and shame of my actions throughout my relationship and stretching back since before then; I am seen entirely in the light of the wrong I’ve done, and it breaks my heart.

    Day 3 :emoji_heavy_check_mark:

    PMO forces have spotted you!! With haste you use the Bucklebury Ferry to cross the Brandywine river.
     
  6. Day 10.

    You spend the night at the old Watchtower of Amon Sûl. PMO forces are lurking in the area.

    AirBnB Review: Watchtower was cold and damp. Needs to be refurbished. Bad neighborhood.

    Day 7

    Had a healthy day at work doing a lot of cleaning and manual labour, it felt satisfying and cathartic to deep clean our office and reset it for the coming year.

    Despite that I’m feeling a lot of shame; I have fully come clean, but I still feel the weight of my actions. I am sad thinking of what I used to do, and it breaks my heart to think that I’ve hurt someone else so much.

    Nevertheless, I am loved, and I can build from there.

    Day 8

    Today has been transformational. After a difficult morning I have started gathering building blocks from which I can recover from my addiction; I am going to employ a therapist, I am going to begin couple's counselling, and I am going to talk about my addiction with trusted people in an effort to defeat my shame. I've identified the source of my shame and now must work at channeling it into its opposite state; I was ashamed of being unfaithful, so I will direct this into becoming a rock of faithfulness on a firm foundation.

    My tutor recommended this video from Brené Brown, it's only twenty minutes long and really helped me find a sense of direction in my recovery, I hope it helps you wonderful people.

    9 days – Gildor Inglorion, an Elf, crosses your path causing a Nazgûl that was chasing you to flee. You stay the night with his company of Elves talking about your struggles with PMO. "Courage is found in unlikely places" he says. He gives you an Hithlain rope, a magical rope, light and flexible, yet extremely strong.
