I have begun to live my life from Thursday to Thursday. I feel like Thursdays are usually my day of preparation. The time given to me to equip myself with all the armor Paul talked about. Thursday mornings I attend an LDS 12 step program for guys addicted to porn and sex. I have to admit that it has been a long time since I attended the 12 step program. It is at 6am...some times I don't mean to sleep in and other times I do. But the idea is that I would like to attend the 12 step program every Thursday morning at 6.
Thursday evenings I attend an Evergreen meeting for LDS men that are dealing with same sex attraction. I love the meetings. We chat about our lives and the facilitator reminds us to talk about our feelings...yea...
What I love is the friendship that I have with those men. They are so good and faithful. We all have our struggles there, but we are all proactively working on them. I admire most of the men in our group for their faith and courage.I live Thursday to Thursday because I have a huge amount of time spent with men that are in the same position as myself. I feel accepted and loved. I feel motivated and happy. I feel like I have what it takes to win the battle in which I find myself. Thank you to those men for changing and living the Gospel.
This week I am coming off of one of the worst relapses I have ever had (because it was the first) I am working on staying motivated and driven. These feelings of motivation are quick to leave in my life; I need to learn how to keep them coming all week.
