I’m going to keep this shourt and sweet so I can keep it with in the bounds of the site I have been suffering from addiction to porn for about 4 years now and one thing that I have found that works is being able to talk it out the more poeple that I talk to about not only my problems but also my hobbies or what ever helps to keep my mind off of what the natural part of me wants and I find it really easy to stay away from it thank you

😯 You are joking. Right?

it all depends on the how much sleep I got the night before and how much work I have to do. :thumbup: my mug that I use for almost anything that I drink is 20 oz and I usualy have two of those in the morning then I’m ready for what ever the day has for me. Oh yea and if any of you have ever been in the service then you’ll understand what I mean when I say my coffee could pass for the marines heck I learned how to make my coffee from a retired marine cook when I was in job corp man that stuff just the smell of it and it pretty much dousn’t matter how tired you were you were ready to go to work after two six ounze cups you were ready for anything just name it. befor my coffee :yawn: after my coffee 😯 :crazy: :thumbup:

Sounds like you handled it very well Cwald. Is it time for a coffee maker at home?

I still have to hide the instant in an unmarked container way up on the top shelf. The wife is okay with it, but the kids are still coming along as I slowly talk them through the LDS white-washing.

Last week at the childrens hospital I was thinking of how you can’t smoke a cigarette anywhere on the campus, yet there is a coffee machine in every break room and a Starbucks on the first floor go figure!

I agree Tom, too much of a good or otherwise harmless thing can be bad. Remember the water drinking contest in Calf. a wile back? It was stopped when someone died of water intoxication. Back to old faithful–Moderation in all things— except you neighbors wife that is. JS must have been texting Michael when that revelation arrived! 😆

I still have figuered out how to only quote only part of a messesge but dude you are completely right moderation in everything 😯 :crazy: 🙄 Me on the other hand I’m not good until I start rezembling all three of these in one

I asked him as we were driving home if he liked his coffee. He was shocked and scared, and said, “I don’t know why people make such a big deal about some of these stupid rules we have. What’s the big deal anyway?”

I gave him a hug and just agreed with him. – cwald

I have to agree with the both of you on that I mean like really unless you drink enough to cause horse to have a heart atack which would be kind’ve hard seeing that coffee is a terefic laxitive which means its kind’ve hard to drink that much coffee and live on the toilet. Any way back to what I was saying the church says that coffee is bad for your health I don’t see how all that you have got to do is not overdue it and you will be fine I’m a online college student and I only drink one to two pots a day. I think that what the scripters say about hot drinks they are not talking about coffee they are talking about the way that they used to drink there hot drinks they would drink it literaly hot enough to burn you bad now that can cause problenms enternaly. if you wacht westerns then you have seen the scene where the guy grabs the coffee pot off of fire and chuggs the whole thing down just short of boiling thats what they where talking about not the coffee it self.

Had an interesting coversation with my traditional believing wife yesterday. I’ve been sick the last two Sundays — the first Sunday, only kind of sick, but not really, but last Sunday, genuinely fevered and hacking and coughing and not wanting to pass it on to others. Plus I needed the recuperation time.

I REALLY LIKE the few hours of quiet I have at home when the family is at Church. I think the idea of not having to stress over getting there and sitting through all the meetings. Ever since they released me from my calling a month or so ago, I feel no desire to be at Church, really. I’ve done every significant calling in the Ward and many in the Stake and the most interesting callings to me now only create a brief ripple of interest in my motivation. I shared my feelings with my wife, who actually empathized this time. She commented on the bad stuff we’ve enduring in the Church with the mission, the adoption, and some of the questionable behavior of our local leaders. She even agreed that the local leaders don’t really care much about us as individuals; they are more interested in plugging holes in the Ward when there is a need for manpower to keep things going.

She also said it would be fine with her if I stopped going indefinitely. She knows I’ve had spiritual experiences and will come back again. She was really kind about it. Normally she gets her back up whenever I share anything contrary to traditional LDS thought.

So, now he only reason I have left to keep up with this white-knuckling is my kids. If I stop going they will have nothing to hang their hat on except the example of my wife. As one of the leaders in the family, I feel I have to embody the values I want them to latch on to (primarily the clean living and commitment to kindness and charity toward others, and a belief in God). A year and a half ago I had surgery and stopped going for a month, and both kids started pushing to just stay home with Daddy. I know what will happen if I stop attending. It will open the floodgates.

Frankly, if anything, I would like to get my enthusiasm back for the Church. I used to love the leadership side of things, but I abhor it right now. The lessons are normally not that interesting, and I only feel engaged when I’m teaching — and only on certain lessons now as well. It can be very sad to confront what you’ve lost. I just share this because this whole thing saddens me right now.

I will probably go next week, so no here one has to encourage me to go. I will do it, but I so detest living my life without my heart leading.

silant droening I half to give you propps dude I just wish I had someone like you in my family maybe my life would not be so messed up thank you.

So yesterday in Sacrament Meeting our youth speaker was quoting Brigham Young from the Journal of Discourses and said, “Brigham Young said this in the Journal of Discouragement” Hahahahahahahahah :clap: 😆 He didn’t even notice his mistake and that made it even funnier.

I know some of us have found BY quotes in that record very discouraging:)
