    Prior to recovery, I spent at least 3 hours a day on anything sports related.  Since I didn’t have god in my life I would use sports to fill that void. (when i wasn’t acting out).  I needed something to entertain me. If it was my team, then sometimes that would be 6 hours or…

    So what do I mean here? Just from personal experience when I was living life my way, the results just weren’t pretty.  So when i say try to live like him it’s more trying to emulate who he was.  Even though it’s impossible for us to be just like him, what we can focus on…

    I’d recommend taking  30 mins a week where you can sit and have some quiet reflecting time.  Nothing that can distract you from this time.  It’s where you can read your journal, pray, sit down and evaluate where you are at in life.  See where you have made progress, and then look at things that…

    Why is it so hard to appreciate what I’ve been given? Why do I find it difficult to live in the moment?  How can I genuinely appreciate and be thankful for gifts or nice things that are done for me? It’s almost if I have this expectation that people will do things for me.   I…

    Why is it that my brain can create entire scenarios with no resistance at all? When I was living in the addiction, I cherished the fantasy world in my mind. I would think about anything that promised instant gratification. What I didn’t realize at the time was that it wasn’t always sexual. Sometimes I imagined…
