Thank you for your "strategies list" I just had a very close call and was glad to see concrete suggestions written down. I know that they work. You are the proof.
Hi Daniel, I have a question:
First, I'll say that I am unsure whether I am a struggling Christian or an unrepentant sinner. I feel like I haven't ever really put my full faith in God. But whenever I'm not acting on my PA, thoughts of God are in my head and I'm listening to Christian music (like aviad cohen), always going to my school's christian club every week, and visiting websites like gotquestions (. org).
Besides that confusing thing about my life, my question is that the wellness center counselor I've seen a few times at my school mentioned meditation--the kind of meditation that's supposed so get rid of unwanted thoughts--and it requires a mantra.. I just don't feel like it's something I should do. What should I say do my counselor the next time I go to see him?
Hello. I don't think I ever talked to you directly before, but you may have posted in my (old) recovery journal.
In your recovery journal, I just read (maybe for the second time) post number 1 from August and (for the first time) your post from January 27th--about the retreat.
I am 16 years old, in high school (11th grade), and my "P addiction" has been hindering my faith growing (I am a Christian, too, but not really, since I have doubts at times and these struggles and everything. I go to after-school club on Wednesdays, a Christian club, and I have told 2 people about my P situation. They're not accountability partners (I haven't talked with either of them for a long time, one of them is a schoolmate who is a leader in the club). Anyway, I thought that you can give me any Christian advice and stuff. Hopefully I can be a resource to you in return.
Hey Daniel,
I'm Amanda, BRick's SO, and I just wanted to thank you for all the kind works and support you have given him these past few weeks. I know you've helped him tremendously and I know it helps him to see that he's not alone in this. It means a lot to me as well. So thank you and God bless!
Amanda
