Rules of the Forum
by KevinesKay Sun Apr 24, 2016 2:19 pm
Rules
The only requirement for membership is that you have to be a man struggling with s*xual sin. So if you have it all together. I'm sorry. This group is not for you.
This is currently a support group for men only. Unfortunately, we lack the resources to offer assistance for wives of s*x addicts and for women that struggle with s*x and love addiction. We suggest www.blazinggrace.org as a suitable alternative.
Please respect all posters. No abuse is allowed. Please refrain from any judgmental attitudes. Let's maintain a spirt of unconditional love, acceptance, and restoration.
We believe that Jesus is Lord! You are still welcome if you don't share any of our religious views. But please be respectful of the Christian beliefs expressed here.
We encourage and respect honesty. But it's important to share only the truth and not details. That means no explicit descriptions of s*x. This is especially true for areas on the forum that are visible to the general public. And please do not disclose locations, websites, or specific people that you've acted out with. Over time, you'll discover that a sign of recovery will be a focus less on the addictive behaviors and more on the power of God intervening in all aspects of our lives. We want this forum to be a safe place with few triggers.
Please use the following abbreviations:
P for pornography
MB for masturbation
s*x for sex
O for orgasm
Please keep any information viewed in the "members only" sections as private. That includes private messages. Who you see here, what you read here, when you leave here, let it stay here. Hear! Hear!
Disciplinary action will be taken for those members that are unable to abide by the rules. We don't want to make it a regular practice to permanently ban people. We are all broken individuals. And we want to be an extension of God's grace and forgiveness. So if disciplinary action is taken, we will do it in the spirit of God's love and restoration. And the extent of the action taken will depend on the offense. Attempts will be made to include input from all of the members of the forum before such action is taken.
In the spirit of avoiding any distractions from our recovery and our walk with Jesus, we ask members to refrain from posting any pictures or videos. Appropriate links are okay and encouraged, but links should only be shared in the "members only" sections.
Being that we are a new forum, certain unexpected challenges will arise. Please be patient. Understand that additions and revisions may be made to these terms and rules. Thank you so much.

Where do I start?

If you're new to this, I would understand that you may feel a bit overwhelmed. You may wonder where to start. Let me make a few suggestions.
1) Start an accountability thread. This way, you and others can keep track of your progress. Believe me. It helps.
2) One of your first projects should be laying down some boundaries. They don't have to be perfect. Adjusting boundaries can be a lifelong process. But write out your boundaries and share them on your accountability log. Don't forget to list out positive behaviors in addition to behaviors you need to avoid.
3) Have a plan. Discuss your strategy with others here on your accountability thread. The "Narrow Door" challenge is a good place to start. Because the best defense is often a good offense. Laying down a strategy of positive behaviors such as praying, reading your Bible, working out, calling a buddy can give PAs a lot of power in resisting temptation.
4) Don't do this alone. Lurking around such websites as these is not supportive in and of itself. Reply to each other, email or pm one another, call each other, make friends. Stop being socially anorexic. It's that characteristic that probably got us into trouble to begin with.
5) This is an action program. Try to put effort and time into this. Post regularly here and it will go a long way to achieving success.
6) Keep a positive attitude. Instead of feeling cranky because of the loss of the high that s*xual acting out brings, keeping a spirit of gratitude for what God has given you will go a long way. Make a grateful inventory and share it on your accountability thread.

All right everyone, this forum is moving now. I'm locking all threads and instructing everyone to join the new site. It is:

Pretty simple. I hope you like it.
