I have a Q thats been bothering me I asked my partner too.Im clean this long B"H I do feel a difference in my life but there should be more i still feel as if im missing something not huge but something nonetheless My partner said to have patience "recovery is a slow process" that is hard for me to accept ill try to if you all tell me its true but is that what it is? Just keep doing what your doing and youll progress slowly but surely?

thanx P.S. i have alot more to post and i dont know when ill be on next but one thing at a time Shalom


Emunah I was amused when I read your question followed by your P.S. And I don't mean this as a criticism of you but rather more reflective of all our human emotions.

When it comes to what we want Hashem and other to do for us. We want it now and we really don't want to have "slow" progress. By contrast when it comes to what we have to do for others we are perfectly complacent with "slow" progress and taking "one thing at a time." I believe that when the two come into equalibrium, that is are actions are commensurate with our expectations, then we will see the success we are looking for. Wishing you much continued Hatzlacha

What's this? No preview button?


There is a preview button. Three and four to the left of the ebay button. And as Guard pointed out to me you can preview as you type.

And if I register under exactly my old name, they'll migrate my posts?
Will they do this automatically on D-Day?

But- you can't preview FORMATTING when you type.

Thank you for pouring your heart out here, Emuna. That in itself should be theraputic. What mighty warrior you are, to stay sober under all these difficult circumstances.
Keep at it one day at a time.

Just keep on posting.

Not only when you feel you're in trouble.

Check in every day, no matter what's going on. Even just to say, "hi."

The urges don't magically go away after you pass 90 days.
But hopefully you've learned some new habits. New ways to quickly respond when your sobriety is challenged.
As an addict, my brain has been permanently altered by a life of incessant lusting.
90 days of sobriety hasn't changed that. Three consecutive years of sobriety hasn't changed that.
It's easier, only because I've learned to stay farther and farther from lust. That's what I'm better at; staying away from it altogether.

If I were to face it head on, I would be no stronger than I was on day one. And I'll have to take my word for it, cuz I'm not going to try it.

If you can't stay in touch through the forum, maybe get a few phone numbers.
