I'm trying to reach out to brothers online. Not phone call yet, but I wanted to encourage you to contact your family or friends or sisters here or there for help. If we isolate (not saying you are) but if we don't change, we will fall back into our old ways. So far, I can only identity two sisters on this forum. I hope you can talk to each other and encourage and find others like you to help, pray for, and be accountable too.
For guys, it's difficult sometimes. One of my brothers didn't want to admit until I first shared my struggle, then he told me part of his, still leaving out stuff, but I don't care, it's between him and God, but we got to emailing and phone calls eating lunch and it was good. Even though him and I are part of a different denomination in the Christian, our common faith in Christ and our common struggle bonded us and we are talking now.
I hope you don't take what I'm saying wrong. I'm not any better or anything for simply calling a brother. I just wanted to encourage you if you were feeling isolated or need help.
one more point, I don't really talk to any women here for support for their issue, in order to 'not' trigger you or me. This is my boundary that I need and I'm sorry if that is different than your own boundaries. Other brothers might encourage you and if he is not triggered(any hint of lust or sexual lust) and you are not triggered and the Lord knows our hearts, it's fine. I'm confessing that I 'might' be triggered which is why I will not try to contact you directly and ask you to contact sisters for recovery. No has contacted me and I'm relieved. I only sent out the mass email to all the members to share about the notifications feature on this forum. That's all.
This might seem weird and even might even more complicated if you are a sister who has a struggle with homosexual lifestyle. For this, I suggest you share with your husband if you are married, or with other mature Christian couples who can help, and pray for you. If you can't find anyone, that is not ideal, but don't forget. You have God living inside you and God is really all you ever need. but we are also trying to build up our faith and love (feed, cloth, visit the sick) in Jesus' name. That is all I have to say today. Thank you for listening if you are still there. I'm not seeking any replies or anything either. Just speaking from my heart.
Shalom (Peace)
Dominic, your brother in Jesus and fellow brother in this world.
I still apply this to myself. I really don't' talk to women on here but from time to time will say how are you? I hope that is OK and not a trigger. I don't not want to talk privately to any women for possible falling into sins. I'm done with that.
