WELCOME!

Not sure, depends on the severity of the addiction perhaps. For me, it helped ALOT! Having that connection with guys here is just incredible!

Your English is great.

There is more than one approach to dealing iwth addiction. 12 step meeting is one of the ways. It is very effective for many.

I would recommend though, that you don't stay isolated. eEen if you don't go to meeting you need someone to talk to, to open up to and to bee 100% honest with.

Welcome

There are many ways for recovery.

Try 'em out.

I did myself; managed for 90.
Then started calls and a therapist; managed for 115.
then added a group; managed for 158.

Now, I added a specialist and I truckin' along (although my truck was stolen near some check point in the Galil).

cordnoy,
I can give you the truck back if you want. I'll find another one to steal.

truth,
There are guys that manage just from the website, but you gotta decide that you will do whatever you need ehatever it will be - even if you are the only one that needs to do it.

When not educating us, Cordnoy is busy at many meetings.
Sometimes with the therapist, sometimes the professional, sometimes the specialist.
Sometimes he goes by car, sometimes by truck, sometimes he takes his elephant.
What'd I leave out, Cordnoy? (-:

TRICYCLE

Cordnoy doesn't do educating
Perhaps educatin'
Even then, I don't wanna come off as that.
I like to share my experiences.
Perhaps that in itself is educatin'.

And yes, I think you got it all.
Therapist long distance over phone or shype.
Quasi-therapist over phone, in-person and chat.
SA meetin's
Real specialist in marriage and sexual behavior.

And regardin' how I get there, there are many ways.


Perhaps I'll even try a motorcycle that goes v'room v'room....

or....

WELCOME! I look at it the same way as medicine. Take the smallest recommended dosage. If that doesn't work, up the dosage.

Meaning, see what works. Not everybody needs meetings or a therapist. Some of us just need a good friend or rebbi to talk to. If it is not working, then reasess.

Hatzlacha Rabbah!

35 days. Gevaldig.
From all the people that say their English is poor, yours is the best! (-:

As usual, Gibbor's great advice is masked by its simplicity.
You've been doing quite a bit of work- impressive.
The common denominator is that no matter where we're at, if we see ourselves slipping, we need to reach out and look to find something that might be more helpful for us.
You're clearly expressing that you need more to help in order to stay clean. So whatever works. It's warming to see how this virtual community gives such feelings that were not alone in the struggle, that it actually got you through the day! I have the same experience.
So stick around. Take advantage of of all the site has to to offer especially the great guys you can share with. If you still need more, sa sounds like a nice idea! (although I personally am struggling with how much I'm ready to put myself out there for the sake of my recovery.)

Oh, and welcome, Truth! Stick around, keep posting.
