dovid824 OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 81 Karma: 9	farblunjet, I can't think of anything other than what I've already posted in this topic. Lately I've been strongly tempted to transgress. The only thing that keeps me from doing so is the knowledge that it's wrong.

One lesson I've learned is the importance of staying close to one's family. Even if they're annoying psychopaths who are driving you nuts, someday you may need their help.

Dovid284:
I think we need balance here. An unhealthy upbringing and conditioning can cause a life of misery unless you unlearn the bad stuff, heal your heart of the accumulated pain, learn to value and love yourself & take care of yourself.

Staying in constant contact with the source of trouble doesn't allow or hinders healing & progress. On the other hand family still has a lot to offer and cutting off costs a very, very high price, not just financially.

So, we have to find the middle ground of independence and controlled contact in order to heal, build a healthy life and not lose the benefits of family. (At least till we acquire stability & strength so we're not effected from closer contact.)

I very much enjoyed your tread. Very genuine and truly inspirational.
Thanks!

Even if you don't have anything else to say besides your clean record that will be great inspiration for all, but don't you ever have tough days/ triggers etc?

In that case adding those info bits with your streak will be amazing!
