Source Sex Addiction

My name is Nick Shoemaker and I am a lust-a-holic, this is my story.

Hope. It’s a funny thing, eh?

It rises and falls like the tide on this ever changing sea we call our emotions.

It’s been used in book and movie titles, and even as part of political campaign slogans.

Today, at least for me, hope became more real and reached new heights of clarity with one statement:

No- ‘IT’ is not sex. At least not in this case.

Yesterday I mentioned that I doubt. Today I’m pretty much vurping (vomit-burp: not a full vomit, but still not pleasant and definitely not fun like a burp).

Jason Boyett wrote a book O Me of Little Faith- and I’m probably going to read it.

Today he asked the question: How do doubters achieve a balance between honest questioning, personal transparency, and concern over the spiritual well-being of non-doubters?

Here’s my answer in the comments on that post:

I have doubts. Unbeliefs. Approval-denials.

I really hope this isn’t a surprise to anyone.

The problem is that I didn’t think I had them. (And, I still don’t know if my doubts are real.)

I am constantly telling myself that doubts are fear-based thoughts. That they’re not really real.

THEY ARE REAL- they exist. Small to large, minute to ginormous, funny to serious, uneventful to life-changing, secular to religious.

The hardest part is that, at the same time, I hate them and cling to them.

I’ve watched some, I think, good movies over the past week. (No, that’s not where I’ve been. Well, it kinda is. But not entirely.)

First up was Surrogates, which I already talked about. The next was Gamer, a movie I don’t recommend because of the amount if nudity in it, although the storyline was decent. And tonight I watched the “horror comedy” Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. It’s in a similar vain as Shawn of the Dead, but more apocalyptic.

It’s ironic that all three deal with the apparent and possible end of mankind. And you know what- I have a secret: I love it.
