Chastity Office 284

God,

Thank you for helping me stop drinking first.

Without your power I could not have done it. 

Thank you for helping me to stop masturbating and cheating on my wife.

I could not stop, no matter how hard I tried, but you tipped the scales, over to recovery.

Thank you for helping me be chaste the last 14 1/2 months. 

I simply could not have done it without Your help.

“Without a vision my people perish”.
Proverbs 29:18

Here is the very unpalatable truth…I have been given a vision.

I have been teaching it to others.

I cannot abandon it. I must learn to live with it.

It will require everything I have learned thus far…

I must master this, so that I can reward myself with the next level of joy…my music

For four weeks I have worked out every single day and Chastity now feels more physically manageable.

I will now reward myself with new music…radical new music.

Been spending my late evenings at an AA clubhouse the last couple of months.

Occasionally, I will show one of them a reading on the Act With Courage website.

You should see their faces when they read the home page about “Finite Chastity”.

…you would think they had seen a scene from a horror movie, LOL

There is a great deal of unmanageability that disappears during Chastity…like all the craziness on dating websites:

Does she like me?

When will she respond to my text?

I wonder is she is telling me the truth in her profile?

Are those current pictures?

Her favorite pastime is Baseball…really?

I wonder if she will stick to her guns about sex only within a marriage? (God…I hope not)

Every human being has a need for creativity.

It comes after the need for love and belonging, esteem of others, spirituality, and the need for contentment, and is only surpassed by the need for peace of mind.

But the need for safety precedes any of these needs.

For the last 2 1/2 months I have worked on safety for my family.

Now, I can afford the luxury of music…

Thank you God for helping me put first things first.
