Welcome back,

Let's not focus so much on the long term future (or even short term), and let us not focus on the past. We are concerned with today (like NIC quoted).

But that bein' the case, perhaps articulate why you wanna change.
There might be some obvious reasons, but humor us and spell it out please.

Perhaps you can be helped towards recovery just a bit better then.

Thanks

Maybe the dishonesty, hypocrisy and double life is making you feel ashamed as well?
Much Hatzlacha!

Sometimes the mere act of articulating our motivation for doing something good, as obvious and unnecessary as it may seem, is the only way to crack the looking glass between our " two selves" (you know the ones I'm talking about). We are adept at repression and denial, we addicts. And we need spoken declarations of the simple stuff. Great suggestion, Cordnoy.

I just re-read what I wrote and I think it comes as harshly or judgmentally, neither was my intent at all, chaver.
Much Hatzlacha!

Not at all - don't apologize.

Right now what I need is the truth, nothing but the truth so help me G-D!

You were right on the money.
