Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I'm writing because I honestly don't know where to begin anymore.
At the end of 2021, I slowly fell back into drugs, pornography, and other ways of escaping reality. Before that, around 2020, I had started turning my life around. I practiced meditation, yoga, daily aura cleansing, old rituals of that time, and other spiritual practices. For the first time in a long while, I truly felt like I was moving in the right direction.
Looking back, I still don't know exactly what happened. Maybe it was curiosity. Maybe I became overconfident. I told myself, "I'll only do it a couple of times, and then I'll return to my spiritual path." But instead, everything spiraled out of control.
I even took out a €20,000 loan, which I wasted on prostitutes, clubs, drugs, and other things that promised happiness but only left me feeling empty.
When I think about these past few years, the emotions that come up the most are shame, sadness, self-hatred, and the feeling that I have turned away from Gods and disappointed them..
At the moment, I'm in a rehabilitation program, and thankfully I'm making progress. I'm grateful for that. But deep inside, I feel a strong desire to reconnect with my spiritual path and with the practices that once brought peace and meaning into my life.
I would really appreciate your advice.
Where would you recommend I begin?
How can I start healing my habit of escaping reality through pornography?
For those of you who have walked a similar path, what helped you recover from addiction while rebuilding your spiritual life?
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who reads this and shares their thoughts. It truly means a lot to me...
