1 day sober
Yesterday I relapsed...man, that is a trying thing to happen! I had a super hard time yesterday dealing with the relapse, but I am glad that I have had the chance to do some reflection. In this time of reflection, fueled by going to an SA meeting, I have decided to revamp my daily's:
1. Study the LDS scriptures for 15 minutes every morning
2. Study SA literature for 15 minutes every morning
3. Write a blog post of my experience in recovery
4. Check in with a fellow SA member every day
5. Pray sincerely morning and night
Also...if you're at all familiar with SA and the idea of a sponsor, I, after a year of being in the program, have finally gotten a sponsor! I overcame my fear of talking and confiding in someone and talked with someone...it feels so great knowing that someone is there for me to guide me and help me.

Remember, Jesus invites us to leave behind what we are "against" (pornography), and focus on what we are "for" (purity & holiness). We are for becoming the eternal sons & daughters we are meant to be. This simple, but challenging mental switch of perspective is life-changing. Satan reminds us we are trapped by our "against", but Jesus reminds and invites us that we are born for, and destined to become our "for".
