Glad you posted! My thought is to expand it a little more as: first get motivation, then grow in discipline, but finish with everlasting faith.
"Determination may quake; Motivation may wane; so build Discipline to the edge, where we then make a leap of Faith." --(combined fapstonauts) You tell me if that makes sense in your situation.
Hi @Roady. I was not sure anyone would notice my absence. I am doing fine, but after my last series of resets, I just felt I needed a break from this place. The truth is I have been on boards for 2 decades without any success, so I am just trying to make changes. I will be back after I feel the time is right.
Or course @New Focus. Only you know what you need the best. Sometimes it's better to leave the internet completely. I hope you will going well. God bless you buddy.
2 weeks! Keep it up, brother. Find strength in daily life. The shallow bubble of yesteryears will collapse on its own. You seek/earn treasures in heaven as you build your marriage and family :)
p.s. You *are* getting better by the way. What's the point in journaling unless you're going to go back and SEE that for yourself :)
You can my friend. This stuff is NOT you. You can shake it off and become who you really are. Just keep at it. You are worth it!
Maybe it is time to change your profile message to something like "I have decided to start rising again".
A warrior does not drown for falling into the water. It only drowns if he stops swimming. If you believe you are sinking, you will sink. But you can swim out of this and into a better place.
Hey. Just wanted to stop in and say I've read most of the posts in question, and I really don't think anyone was offended by your comments about counters. I had a bit of a dust-up with J-Kiwin on the subject recently, and cpf got into it with someone else somewhat less recently, but I really didn't see anything wrong with anything you said and I didn't read anyone's reaction to be upset with you. Just so you know.
Thanks 11 for taking the time to write this- it means a lot to me. This community is important to me and I felt bad that I may have upset some folks, including you.
