A Minister's Recovery

[byron1]

Today is day 1 (again). But this time is different. I am not alone. For the first time in my quest to be P free i have confessed to two every close friends, my brother and another minister friend. they both have been supportive and helpful. they both say that they will not leave me alone in this battle.

I always felt if i ever talk to someone about my addiction that maybe they would be disgusted with me. Maybe they are but their love for me out weighs the disgust. I am one the road to recovery and FINALLY I AM NOT ALONE!!!

Good morning, Byron:

Excellent work on talking to your friends about your struggle. Our addiction loves secrets and shadows, and bringing it out into the open where the light of truth can shine on it will shrink it down.

From this board, you will truly see you are in no way alone. This scourge afflicts so many: young, old, single, married, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist. In addition to your friends, know you can find much support on these boards.

Congratulations on taking that first difficult step of telling others. I pray that bringing your sexual sin into the bright light of day and into God's love through his children will propel you into easier sobriety and recovery.
