The more I am connected to god, SA, and other fellows, the less I will need to act out. People many times don't post when they are struggling, and that itself is another reason why they are struggling. I think it's a noble idea to reach out.

Thanks for all the input. It's really helpful.  What can I say Mark, I'm a sucker for punishment ; ) I guess building connections even when not in a struggle is the difference between "living recovery" and just plain "living". 

Still, I think your point Shlomo is a big one for me.  I have NEVER reached out to someone from GYE before a fall, slip, or dive. I have called non-GYE friends sometimes, to connect, but not to ask for help with the struggle.  I have lots of reasons- Excuses, really.  "It won't help", "What can they possibly say", "I will only feel worse afterwards".  I think the real reasons are more like "I really want to act out", "I can't stand being told what to do.  I don't want to look weak", "I refuse to admit that I am wrong and acting like a משוגנה".

Thanks also for this

Life will always be changing, the main thing will still be you. You can adapt yourself, and the systems when the changes come.

I was thinking what shlomo said and was just as curious as everyone else as to why I really wrote it.


Freud has nothing on you.

It's probably about time we gave thanks613 his thread back. We should continue the psychoanalysis in the JHF section.

Which part? Not reaching out? I think I kinda know it's idiotic, but there's a mind-body divide or something.

A little nip in the bud never hurt anyone. Permanently...

Got a new computer that's running windows 10, but haven't been able to find a compatible filter yet.  Any ideas?

False alarm actually. k9 seems to work. Filter installed.  I didn't make any custom settings (and I allowed youtube), but I seem to remember someone saying that the only filters that ever worked for him are the ones he never "tested". So maybe I'll try it that way.

What's tag anyway?
