Wanting to drink and have sex really really badly right now. I know I am learning to abstain. I know I am not having sex with anyone, unless my marriage resolves or finally dissolves. I'm not even going to masturbate until I know I can go 3 weeks without. I know I'm not drinking because of the effects I saw on the rehab/PTSD victims. I'm trying to reassure myself that I don't need those to be happy. I really just want to grab someone by the low of her back and pull her into me, feeling our bodies intertwine into a crescendo of mortal ecstacy. I cannot let any of this have an affect. I must clear my mind of the desires of the world and think about clarity from the clear, the pure, the still water with a visible basin. This is difficult for me. I've caught myself looking at females with all the wrong ideas, and have been able to fight the urge to try even to get a sniff of their scent, knowing that would push things deeper into desire.
I am going to control myself. It just seems damn hard right now.

Distraction helps me ignore temptation when I know I am being tempted down destructive paths. Resist temptation?? I can resist anything BUT temptation. Studied ignorance is the best I can do. Ideally my distraction is something less destructive that I has tempted me but I never got around to for whatever reason.
Continued support while you find what works for you, BSB. Maybe some shadow boxing?
I'm in almost THE SAME BOAT!!!
I'm bipolar, and recently rededicated my life to Christ about a week ago, but this time I really am trying to live right. See, even if God didn't exist, you could still trust true Christians with your baby and not have a worry in your mind. It's because the things of God are the things that build us up, while the things we know don't, don't! Like alcohol, random sex, all that.
I'd say that you should watch out for that ex wife of yours. I was in a bad relationship and honestly, I was JUST texting her, but I moved out of state almost right after graduation because I knew that my strength when it came to her was weak, and I now live in another state but still text her to entertain the idea every now and again, thanks God I moved.
Imagine if I got her pregnant, and then I was in a relationship that just tore me down?! I'd hate myself for missing out on real love.
My bipolar I think kicks up that strong desire to have sex, and for me, the drinking is not so hard, so I haven't done that. But I haven't even masturbated lately out of strength, probably from the Holy Spirit.
Hit me up if you ever need to talk or anything, I can even send you my celly brotha I gotchu mayne.
So you want to feel more like a man, feel more confident, strong, and all around beastly, don't touch that peepee!!!
you can do this man, and like it says in Ecclesiastes, Friends lift one another up as iron sharpens iron, so don't go it alone, find people who are like you and understand your battles who have a real heart to hear your issues and care.
I then asked a friend that knows us both. She said I could try to ask wife if I felt confident in my feelings.
I asked wife anyway (no confidence in really anything) "would you be open to a booty call?" The reply was yes but right now female problems, because of diabetes meds and stress. She'll let me know when that clears up. Maybe that was a sign that it's not supposed to happen. Pregnancy isn't possible. She's fixed and past that age.
I then took things into an eeeeeppp point. I invited her to use a free guest pass to yoga on Monday. It's with an instructor that incorporates spirit with mind and body into the routine.
Now the kicker that's really a huge eeeeeppp! We're meeting there on our anniversary. Freaking out!
But the good part of this is an opportunity for each of us to see the other in a good place, not a real date or any pressure. Yoga is my church. Not in a church, but IS my church. I leave yoga feeling like I hope people feel leaving their churches.
This is very much like asking someone to Sunday school for the crispies out there
