Spirit Axal

Yes I was here before discussing scriptures from the NWT that just didnt fit but one day i stumbled across a self righteous person that had a conspiracy theory and I thought to post it and got suspended. but hey im back, im not the same person I was when I was on meth going crazy. lol

What was your "handle?"

If your new-found honesty with yourself is a measure of yourself, then certainly it would be of benefit to all of us posters here to know?

Spirit Axal

MY last username was Axal.. now im spirit axal. so im the same Axal. But what are you asking of me?

onacruse

But what are you asking of me?

Just that.

If you are, in fact, withdrawing from meth addiction, then I (and we) would be more than happy to give you our most helpful and beneficial support possible.

But then you should know the drill: honesty is the only policy. Surely, if you've been listening at your own support groups, you'd know that.

Games just won't do; if "gaming" is what you are trying to accomplish, then you only harm yourself most of all, and then everyone around you.

Is that blunt enough?

Spirit Axal

Well It seems blunt I guess. but yes im honest. Because of my screw up, I now see a counciler once every 2 weeks. But I have been gaming since I was very young and as I got older and then got into meth, I believe it was because of seeing bad things around me. War, and hearing children being abused and kidnapped and family members dieing and being treated like dirt around everyone and I couldnt take it anymore and started to do drugs, but I found a relationship with God. But I still have to see a counciler, thats the rules when screwing up. lol

Thank you for sharing.

What does your counselor advise?

(fwiw, I have personal reasons for asking this question, and not just a "word game.")

Spirit Axal

Well, My counciler advises me to slow down some on the computer. i usually play 13 hours a day. but i play about 8 hours day now. She also advises me to not watch the news if it bothers me too much which it does bother me alot so i dont watch the news anymore. Ive pretty much limited myself to what I can watch and how long I can do something

I said I had personal reasons for posting just previously, and in regard for what you just posted, I will share them.

Your counselor is correct, imho. Computer games, and the Internet in general, can be an addiction, or shall we say, a substitute addiction. The essence of the matter, for ourselves, individually, is to realize that there are addictions, per se, and then there are addictive personalities.

I do not deny that I have, within myself, many traits of an addictive personality. Thus, I left JWD for well over a year, and did absolutely no Internet activity of any kind.

In the most sincerely and friendly way I can express it, I would suggest that you take your counselor's advice to heart, for your own sake. Find a quiet place, and heal.

Respectfully,

Craig

Thankyou much onacruse

Good work Axal! The addictive personality can be a hard master. Try and connect with people face to face a little more each week. Perhaps there are gaming enthusiasts that meet near you offline that would give you social interaction?
