MY TERMINAL ILLNESS – A LENTEN REFLECTION Most of my life has been a fight against illness. My adult years have been filled with misery and trauma. I have been overrun with despair, anger and fits of jealousy; often screaming – ‘Why Me’? My thoughts have strayed far from family and from God. I have […]

Happy New Year to the Fellowship, I thought we could welcome in the New Year with a fairly ‘informal’ Crypt Chat session on Saturday 11th Jan at 1900 (UK). If you are able and interested then just add a reply to this post so I can be better prepared. If we get only a few

I am in torment, I am writing because I do not want to fall into sin. This post will be honest emotion and is not intended to make anybody else feel sorry for me. I feel alone and do not even want to seek support. All I want right now is to look at impure

A big thank you to Moh1990 for his update message. It is a massive boost for us all to hear of other struggles and recognise just how much we need to break the isolation of addiction. WE ARE NOT ALONE…UNLESS WE CHOSE IT. So, well done if like me you have completed the 40 Day

Day 32 – Stop being alone Read More »
The last couple of days have been relatively calm and normal. I continue to carry out my expected family duties and I make a point of examining my actions each evening before bed. Really quite boring. So how do I continue to stay focused when ‘deep down’ I feel pretty confident that I no longer
