• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

What are your motivations?

I LOVE my sins. I wouldn't engage in them if I didn't love them.

yet I know that the things I do (porn and strip clubs) are big time and money wasters, and they keep me from doing more productive things. As I get older, I look back on my life and see that I've stagnated and not advanced in my social life or in my career because I have spent all my time alone cherishing my sins.

I don't think I will be able to give up my sins unless I learn to hate them. So I am trying to keep in mind how much my sins have dragged me down and robbed me of living a fuller life. Hopefully, this will help me to hate my sins and motivate me to give them up.
