I'm not sure if I slipped, not sure if it matters 06 Jul 2011 03:11 #110436

So here is the issue.  I am in the programme because I have issues with acting out (massage parlours - paying women to m* me, never anything more).  Yesterday I went to a place that I thought was a regular RMT place, but in fact, they were not RMT's and the massage, although nothing happened, was a bit inappropriate.  I went because I am in muscular pain.  I had a feeling/hope the place would be a parlour, but wasn't sure, I called before and they said an RMT receipt would be issued in the future, so I had what to rely on.
Anyhow, I'm not sure if this is considered a slip or not.  To be honest, I have been reactivated a bit and I want to go back to the more 'aggressive' massages, but I'm really holding back this time, fighting the powerful urges.  I think back what I felt like when I left, the money I had wasted, the time, literally hours/days of work, moreover, the seed and the depression about the Zohar etc, and how distant it pushed me from the true Source of everything.  But it is a true craziness.  I'm thinking of the morning calls I dial into, how I am now at a new level and if I act out it will be real depths of depravity.  Plus if the community finds out what I do, I'd be the laughing stock and shame of everything.  Would people even eat my food, would they trust me with their kids.  Gcd should help and protect us all from the Evil One.

Will not matter if you keep on trucking. It would be only as a bump on the road.
It will matter a lot if you stop. It will be like a accident.

Thanks Yid.  It's driving me a bit nuts.  I'm like trying to figure out what was involved, what were my expectations, what was the transgression.  Maybe it's like as an alcoholic, I went into a bar, didn't necessarily drink, but the questions is why I went it... anyhow moving right along!

I'm not sure if I slipped


Sure sounds like it


, not sure if it matters


Absolutely.

If I as an addict click on a very questionable link which while not clearly porn could "potentially" be porn its a slip and it matters alot because it tells me that my mind is in the addiction not in recovery.  It means that my thinking is sick not healthy.  I need to know that my thinking is sick because I won't get treatment for it otherwise. 

Is it important to know that I have the flu? That I have cancer?  diabetes? 

Of course!!!!!!!!!

If I have diabetes and I pig out on sweets I'm a walking time bomb and if I'm a lust addict and I'm getting massages there's a really good chance I'm going to ruin my life.

I'm assuming you posted here to get honest feedback.  Nothing here is meant to be critical but as an addict I know that I need it straight between the eyes, anything less and my twisted thinking will continue to justify behavior that will take me down and end my life.
