Dear all
I have found out that I have been addicted to sex! I have compromised my family life, my health, my finances, my wife, my kid, my family due to this!
My wife has left me
My kid is in foster care
My parents are feeling let down
I have taken responsibility for my actions
I am honest in admitting my mistakes
I am seeking psychiatric help and support
I am making changes in my life
If at all possible
Please pray for me
So that God gives me a single chance to get my life back
As I very much love my family
My wife and my child
Even during my addiction I loved them
Help me if possible
Thank you soo much

I am staying motivated with my therapy.
I am taking as much positive efforts as I can think of.
But the hate I feel is very great from everyone involved in this issue.
I find it difficult to tolerate the pain.
I cry everyday.
Will God open His eyes for me?

drkkr76,
You sound like you're doing good things with therapy. Are you also doing something like 12-step support groups like SAA or SLAA or SA or SCA? For me, those programs have been critical for my own recovery.
My own experience was not that God needed to open His eyes to me, but that I needed to open my eyes to Him. I spent many years intellectually convinced of the existence of an abstract God but not having any real faith and trust in a God Who might act in my own life. But as soon as I became able really to surrender and trust God because there was no other hope left, I could see that all my life, God had been there, waiting in patient sorrow until I had suffered enough to be able to accept His love. A better person than I would have found faith someplace other than at the end of my rope through the 12-step program, but that was how it worked for me.
God can love us dearly, and yet our actions still have consequences. I certainly have years of work to do restoring trust and love within my family and mending the harms I've done. Others do sufficient damage that they end up facing consequences of divorce or loss of careers or prison. You're obviously dealing with some of those consequences now. May you be able to work on your own recovery and your own soul and to become the human being you are called to be, and may you find serenity however those consequences may play out. It's got to be hugely painful to be where you are now. May you be freed from suffering and the causes of suffering.

Many thanks for your reply tim
I think you nailed the point deep into me, its me who has to open my eyes to God, very true.
But I wasnt born a christian, nor raised as one. I cant bear to think of any of my human brethren to be different, I think they are all equal and their belief in any faith or not doesnt change anything.
However I believe in Him beyond the context of any religion and so your words are an eye opener to me. I shall check out the 12 step approach you said.
I am doing candeo program and i am in therapy.
Thanks for your prayers

Those are good programs.
People get sober with all sorts of conceptions of God. For that, I think you have what you need. I'll let others worry about salvation.

When all of those things happened to me, that's when I finally started getting my life back.
Lord,
Thank you for hearing drkkr76. It seems like you got his attention. Work in his life and mold it into whatever you desire. drkkr76's life has been consumed by his addiction for so long, and its about time it gets restored. Keep working in his life, Lord. May he not give up or lose hope. Thank you. Amen.
