Note to Blueshirts

Greetings, Blueshirts:

I always feel better after we have had our meeting. Checking-in, getting feedback, listening to others, all help put my struggle in perspective. It is never as bad as I think it is; yet I will always need help from others. Thanks!

I feel a great since of relief this week. With Rod, my sponsor, out-of-town last week I really struggled. I didn't put any fences in place to protect against wandering while my closest accountability partner was away. With no positive work on my side, I felt enslaved by my lusts, temptations, and fantasies.

This week things are better. The lusts, temptations, and fantasies are still there, but I am not alone. And that makes all the difference in the world.

So thank you, brothers, for making yourselves available to me and holding me accountable. Thank you for not abandoning me. Alone, I stand no chance against my addict. But with your help a nd the help of Christ, my addict stands no chance against me.
