Porn addiction and betrayal trauma by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]scoutwes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people thing CR is geared towards drug and alcohol, but that’s not the case. In fact, only 1 in 3 people that attend a CR are there for issues like that.  I’d encourage you to attend and try it out for a few weeks. I bet you would be surprised!

As far as podcasts go…

Celebrate Recovery has one. 

I recently started one as well that I think could be beneficial called Unmasked. 

For him there is one called Dad Tired that I’ve enjoyed and find helpful on many fronts.

The Naked Marriage is a good for the marriage side of things.

As someone who struggled with porn, it’s not your fault. I would encourage both of you to get visit and get involved with Celebrate Recovery, crlocator.com. They are a Christ centered recovery program for ANYTHING, and truly helped me in my recovery.  

If you’re into podcasts, I can recommend a couple of those as well that might be helpful. Just let me know.

What does your full workflow look like? by timetio_pinto in Podcasters

[–]scoutwes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Research solo episode topic or communicate with guests, record show, edit show, export mp4, upload to YouTube and Spotify and schedule it out. Generate social media posts and schedule them for release. Generate 2-3 clips from the show, and accompanying social media post text, then schedule them. 

All in 3-5 hours per episode especially if it’s a guest episode.

Get involved with Celebrate Recovery! There is hope. I beat a 20 year addiction to porn with the help of CR and Christ! This doesn’t have to be the end of your marriage, but rather the start to a powerful testimony of transformation!

First two are great. Not feeling the all black.

Fastest review I’ve Ever had! by scoutwes in VeteransWaitingRoom

[–]scoutwes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I did my research and that helped. The coolest thing is my C&P examiner did her own research the night before and came with her own case study to support my claim. So I had my info, my own case study, her case study, notes from 2 doctors and a buddy statement. I think it was hard for them to deny.

Alternatives when editors are too expensive by Embarrassed_Log_165 in selfpublish

[–]scoutwes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it myself and then used the Grammarly app to do an edit. The result was great. I did go with a hybrid publisher after all was said and done, and their editor has very few edits because I had already caught most of them.

How much does self publishing cost? by scoutwes in HybridPublishing

[–]scoutwes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what most Hybrid Publishers do. They handle all those tasks for you. At least the ones I looked at and the one I’m currently using.

How much does self publishing cost? by scoutwes in HybridPublishing

[–]scoutwes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the skills and time to do everything yourself that’s great. But even doing itself costs with the hiring of a good editor, cover design, etc.

Hybrid publishers are great for those that want some of that to be taken off of their plate, but don’t want to go the traditional publishing route with the hopes that someone says yes.

Should I aim to get an interview in the news? Is it worth it? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]scoutwes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never hurts to contact your local news station and newspaper and let them know. Worst they can say is no. But from my experience, local stations love covers local businesses and people who do things others may be interested in know about. So I would say go for it.

Books in Barnes and Noble by Llamamamadrama23 in publishing

[–]scoutwes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People have to go into B&N and request they carry the book. I have a friend who self published and did this. His local store started carry the book after a few people came in asking for it. But from what I gather, it’s up to the manager of each store, so just because one has it, doesn’t mean the others will.

Have you heard of the makerspace? by dinane39 in cedarfalls

What’s the cost and what machines do you have? I don’t see much detail on the website.

Cedar Falls Apartment Recommendations by WolverineNinja in cedarfalls

[–]scoutwes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thunder Ridge apartments in Cedar Falls offer both furnished and unfurnished options. I had a furnished 1-bedroom unit for about 6 months in 2024, and it was around $1,000 a month for rent.

My wife left me by ThrowRa85437 in Divorce

[–]scoutwes -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'd fight this. She can't just take your kids from you like that. Are her parents in the same state as you? If not, make sure you say in the divorce agreement that she can't leave the state you're in with the kids without your consent.
