chasmjumper, I have read what little bits of your own story you have posted so far. Would it be a good idea for you, for now, to focus on your own issues and post mostly here in the addicts forum where you will get feedback from those who share the same problems?
There are all kinds of people here and all different stages of addiction and recovery too. There is no one sizes fits all. There is a wealth of experience and abundant love and support available in these forums. There are also many raw and painful feelings. There are some too timid and ashamed to post much. There are also some very strong and loud personalities here too.
Can we have you share more of what's going on with you?

Days like this make me wonder about my own sanity. Insulated community? I don't feel insulated, do you? (deleted)

Yeah, I care too. CV, did you try to send him a personal msg?
tiger1m, can someone get personal msgs if they have been suspended or banned.
Let's not shut this guy out. He's way out of bounds but if it's life vs. insensitivity, life wins.
chasmjumper,
Someone gave me an idea earlier today: Don't eat anything from sunrise to sunset. Fasting helps somehow, I haven't tried it but I will.
Maybe your not religious, but some sort of spiritual anchor is a basic human need. I wish you the best brother.

tiger1m, can someone get personal msgs if they have been suspended or banned. member Three Legged Dog, no sir! Members suspended or banned are unable to log into the board. I do not believe the member in question has been suspended or banned yet. All we can do is express our own personal experience, strength and hope and let it go at that. If others disagree? Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Listening to another addict's experience, strength and hope, sharing ours in return, and then all of us supporting each other in staying sober just for today. Angry words and rages and judgmentalism don't help in that process at all. Civility and rigorous honesty should be hallmarks of recovery, remembering that recovery is often fluid and all addicts and significant others will not be at the same point of understanding or recovery. The greatest amount of latitude is allowed by the webmaster and often misconstrued as uncaring. This is truly a baffling disease and we aren't capable of clear-eyed thinking during active sexual addiction but we should recognize fully the need to accept responsibility for the consequences of our actions and words. New addicts need time and patience to adjust and come to terms with their own conditions and accept responsibility. Editing, deleting and suspending members is never an easy chore and never done lightly or without some personal cost to the webmaster or moderator trying to act in the best interest of the recovery environment. Every addict is worth it. Order and a supportive open dialog are goals that often elude us all. tiger member chasmjumper has been banned. Thread locked. |
