I was sexually abused as a child and teenager, by my Step Father. I started to seek help after years of misery. I was drinking and doing drugs. I also thought if somone wanted to have sex with me that they loved me. I think now if someone is nice to me that they really like me or love me. I have been to AA and NA and Alanon. To shy to talk about sex. Now I am ready. Now I am getting worse, I am looking at porn. So now I am seeing one for my sexual problems. I am ready to talk about it. I hurt too much. So now I am going into my past, to make my present more livable.
How many have gone back steps in their life? Was it worth it? Did it help?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I too was and am in a similar situation.
It is real hard to realize in order to go forward we have to go back in a sense.
I have been writing a book on my recovery process( not intended for publishing just healing). My opening
chapter describes my realization that i had no choice but to take myself back in time to heal.
Believe I know this is scary and very hard. I wrote an entire chapter on just this one giant step that needed to be done.
in the course or writing that chapter i came to realize that my perscetion of taking myself back was not entirely accurate. The fact is I have always been in the past. I carry it with me ever minute of every day. As it turns out it is not going back it is just focusing on what is already in the here and now. Abuse does not go away or stays in the past. it is an intergral part of our life that affects every part of our life. I no longer look at it as going back but simple addressing what is already there. When that is done i can then move forward. something i never realized was not happening.
I have said this a few times now and please forgive the analogy. but not dealing with the abuse is like the victem trying to hold a beach ball under water. You may be able to do it for a while but as the effort wares you down the abuse comes to the surface and the cycle of holding it down all over again.
Healing means gettng rid of the beach ball.
hope this was not to corny or out there for you and i hope it helps.
good luck and stay strong.
When deciding I wrote a poem I think it is on one of my early journals it was called crossroads. I was trying to work out whether I had the strength to face this. Feel free to look if you wish.
Take care
