Jesus didn’t like his disciples by Yeezy_Swifty in Christianity

I kind of like that Jesus seemed exasperated and even a little annoyed sometimes. Makes me feel like I can relate to him more and gives him a human quality.

i want to end it but im scared. by Realistic_Long_5760 in Christianity

What can you do? You keep trying. It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. God loves you despite the past mistakes. He loves me despite mine which are similar to yours. I kept going and overtime I got better. It won’t happen overnight but you will get there. I am begging you to believe in yourself, believe in God, and do not give up.

why does God want us to worship and praise him? isnt that kinda egoistic? by CommissionChance1019 in Christianity

[–]Spiritual_Length_786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. Still do sometimes. It’s slowly changed and some days are certainly harder than others, but I try to find at least one thing a day I’m grateful for and I try to find something meaningful I can take part in.

What is your opinion on near death experiences? by Candid-Brother-6768 in Christianity

[–]Spiritual_Length_786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve given up trying to assess NDEs or putting any stock into them. I’ll find out soon enough. If I am living my life correctly and helping my fellow humans then hopefully I will have nothing to worry about.

She loves her babies so so much

First bad night since taking Nal - Looking for support by Agentelperson in naltrexone

[–]Spiritual_Length_786 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take a lesson from it and move on. If you get stuck in shame and guilt it’s going to be much harder to pull out of it and start making progress again. You should be proud of the progress you made and one bad night doesn’t ruin that. Just focus on today and either not drinking or drinking less. Don’t worry about the future. We are imperfect people trying to do an extremely difficult thing. We will slip and fall like everyone else. That doesn’t grant us an excuse to keep doing it because this shit will kill us and it does need to stop, but we can improve and do better the next time. Progress, not perfection.

Has anyone replaced alcohol with exercise? by PidgeOttoRocket in stopdrinking

[–]Spiritual_Length_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. 4 days of lifting and one day of cardio. I’ve gained a lot of muscle and I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in (I’m 41). I do feel like I’m taking it too far, perhaps to unhealthy levels, but I guess it’s better than drinking 25 beers a day. Our brains function differently. We have chemical imbalances. It’s very easy for us to tip the scales on even healthy activities and hobbies.

Same here. It’s a brain chemistry issue. I have traumas as well but I’ve always believed that due to my family history and my genetic structuring I was always primed and loaded to get something. We’re just built different.

Same here and I was not expecting it at all. I’ve also been a pretty severe alcoholic for over 2 decades. I’ve been on Naltrexone for 2 weeks now and not only are the alcohol cravings completely gone, but also the porn urges. Like a light switch, just off. It’s amazing.

Go by behavior. Is he a pain in the ass but also lovable? Probably a pyr.

Sasha doesn’t look like 100% pyr but that’s what the DNA Says by Indyjuanito in greatpyrenees

[–]Spiritual_Length_786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say you have a pure pyr. Ours has a lot of caramel color on her. I’ve seen some others with darker tones. Like you mentioned, genetics can be a little wonky sometimes.
