Open apology to guardyoureyes members 20 Nov 2011 00:05 #126079

I would like to apologize to all guardyoureyes members if I have waisted their time and energy.
And sorry for making different profiles
I joined gue about 4 years ago I was going through a very difficult time dealing with guilt and that sort of thing and without getting into all the details I was given advice that was bad for me, yet  I had so must faith in gue that even though I knew that they were mistaken in my case, I believed that they must be right because they are basically daas torah and I'm a nothing, so I was torn between this.
The gue admin will remember how I would email him at 2am in desperation, begging him to understand that I needed to grow slowly and that I simply could not feel guilt. I went to see a number of professionals who agreed with me, but for some reason a had a deep fear that according to guardyoureyes I had lost my olom haba, and so this tension was driving me mad, I felt i could not go on unless gue accepted my derech as valid, so I made different users to  do this.
I now realize that this was wrong, because it effects other gue members. Yes it is dishonest and very wrong, I suppose it is kind of like watching  porn behind one's wife's back. And everyone probably thinks I'm a disgusting scum bag, and I don't blame them, 
I will just say that I did not intend to do harm and I'm sorry for the harm done. I think it became and obsession, I needed gue to accept me.
I will move on now I realize that my views are simply incomparable with gue and that me going on like a madman just makes every one insane, I have waisted enough of everyone's time already. May my madness be a lesson that people must never give advice unless they are sure they know what they talking about.
But that is no excuse for my behavior
And I ask everyone's forgiveness

lol welcome to the world of crazy.  You have the disease of thinking you are terminally unique, like everyone else on these boards.  Okay, you've created 4 different user names and given bad advice.  great.  I have 1 username and have given probably worse advice.  The only thing is, I haven't apologized yet.  I guess my point is, shake off the "terminally unique" syndrome, get back in to recovery.  Lying about who you are can be just as addictive as acting out.  Probably different side of the same coin.  Welcome home, get back on the saddle.

This confession shows you are not as hopeless as you think.  if we want to fool ourseklves why waste time at GYE just keep going the old way.

Being here allows us to confront the evil inside and start healing.

dont you think we've spent enough time in our lives lying and denying the truth to ourselves ?

I know I have. 

We love you whatever you do. Good luck in the future.

Lchaim to being true to ourselves...

I'm not sure what made you feel guilty here.  I have only found accepting and welcoming people who view addicts as anything but evil.  I'm not sure where you got the impression that you had lost your olam haba either.

I don't think the problem is with the views presented here, but with your understanding of them.  I hope you get the help you need. Hatzlacha.
