My farewell

Discussion in 'Off-topic Discussion' started by BravelyKegger, Feb 19, 2024.

  1. I want to start by thanking everyone for their kindness and support. I have been a member of this community for around 6 years, and it has helped me grow in many ways. I believe this community is fantastic. However, it's time to move on and let go of things. I feel that by staying here, I am preventing myself from moving forward with my life. Maybe I am just being emotional and will regret it, but I will never know unless I go ahead and try. I hope I have been able to help and guide some people here over the years; I have come to realize that life is about helping others and putting them before yourself. Thank you all for everything!

    This is the exact reason I've been a member for 5+ years, and could never imagine not being here...helping others is a critical piece to my program of recovery. Gotta give it away to keep it!

    However, do what's best for you...and if leaving the community yields you better results, have at it.

    Wishing you the best bro! You know where to find us.

    There are some who truly believe it's possible. Unfortunately, for an addict like me, the only cure is a daily reprieve contingent on my spiritual condition. I must actively work a program of recovery each and everyday to increase my chances of staying stopped. Part of my program of recovery is being of service to others within this community. Removing that portion will drastically hinder my likelihood of staying stopped.

    You sound like my sponsor.

    I wasn't talking to you or about you, brother. But thanks for sharing!

    I know you weren't. I was engaging in the chat because I said the same thing to myself after reading the post.

    Side note, I have 18 years sobriety in another 12 step fellowship. I am a very active member and engage in service work on the regular...maybe that's why the familiar voice lol.

  9. Back with an update. I have entirely failed at abstaining from PMO. However, I have successfully stayed away from nicotine in all forms. It's fascinating how nicotine has been easy for me to quit, yet when it comes to PMO, I fail every time. I am convinced PMO is one of, if not the hardest addiction to beat! It's no wonder why the apostle Paul sternly preaches about abstaining from sexual immorality and immoral acts. Porn corrupts many areas of your life; it takes everything pure and paints it black with shame! I do not plan on resetting my counter. I will keep moving forward and figure out a way to overcome this.

    ....you know..the problems we face here that have evolved into addictions stems from idiosyncrasies stemming from our childhood which is challenging to treat. And that's why we need an inner mediatory vehicle-this program.Maybe he will come back so it can serve as a preventive to his well being....
