Bio

I was in the Army for 22 years and now serving in ministry in a mainstream denomination that is moving along a progressive path. This is not easy, but I'm glad because one of my daughters is gay and married with a wife. I have struggled with a personal demon since I was 13 or 14 years old. It contributed to the failure of my first marriage and nearly destroyed my second one. I'm seeking peace with myself, peace with my past, peace for the future by finding effective ways to help myself live in a positive way.

Steered away twice and talked to a scarecrow

...See more Oh my gosh y'all, I had a pretty good day. I managed to steer off of two episodes of what potentially could have been some bad behavior but ended well. I tried to engage a listener tonight to process some of my thoughts but it was like talking to a scarecrow! "Yeah, I understand" or "yeah, that makes sense." Let's strive ti listen well. I recently went through the training and accepted a few listening sessions. I pray that I can be more engaged and reflective too. It's not easy being a listener I know but let's put forth some effort.

...See more I struggle with a porn addiction and excessive self gratifying behavior. 7 Cups has been a blessing and I seek to bless others.  If you see this post, no matter when, today, tomorrow, next year, please ask me to share where I am in my journey out of the darkness. Hold me accountable. Thank you.

...See more I'm figuring out the nuances of subcategories. I posted something a couple of days ago in the main forum here. However, I know that many are struggling with the power of pornography, self gratification, and online virtual sexual experiences. It is tough I thought I had all of these things beat for about 10 years and then all of a sudden over the course of the last week it has reached back up and grabbed me. I'm having all kinds of ambivalent thoughts about what is okay and what is not okay what is harmful to myself and the relationships. I'm just getting it all out here so I can work through this.

...See more I'm new to 7 Cups and wasn't sure they would be a group appropriate for the issue I'm struggling with which you can see in the title. Nonetheless I can see by some of the threads here that there are others that struggle in the same way I've been better at times but things have crap back into my life where I feel like a compulsive behavior that I often have described as an addiction trying to take hold of me again

...See more Hi, Glad to find 7 Cups. I'm still a little bit nervous about this type of environment, though I'm hopeful that I can let some things out and I haven't been able to share fully. Have a lot of shame and guilt it's been holding me back.  I need a safe place. Thanks
