Really hit home and amazing work. I’m currently doing this now since deer camp months ago. Appreciate everything that weekend.

Ty, thank you for the encouragement. As you already know, this awareness piece is the most challenging part for most of us. It is that way because it requires us to acknowledge and admit some painful and embarrassing things. Although it didn’t make it into this article, I think that’s why community is so important. Without other people offering acceptance and care, it would be too much to bear. I'm glad the article helped, and thanks for opening up the comments!

Community is very important. It doesn’t have to be a big one either just a quality group. I could really use some prayers right now buddy. I’m trying to save my marriage and I don’t know if I will be able to but I’m doing the work.

Absolutely, man. Keep your chin up, and keep doing your work. Yahweh specializes in the lost cause!
