Thanks Eli,
I am new to blogging, but I created one to work through my own sex addiction, and so I found your blog when I searched for others talking about addiction. I think what draws me to read your blog is that as a female sex addicit, I have also been sexually abused and I relate to a lot of what you say but I also respond to certain things like someone that has been abused. Its definately tricky to have both. I think i'm 'following' your blog so I look forward to reading your updates.

"C"- the last commenter that said they'd read all of my posts was a spambot, so it's nice to hear that from a real person. (I presume.) Taking time to read a blog in its entirety has got to be the ultimate complement.

I'm glad you could relate to some of it. I hope that what I spill onto the page here is helpful to someone besides me. But I know it helps me and that's enough by itself.

Hope you are doing well and finding peace and healing. Stop by anytime.
Eli

I discovered your blog this afternoon, and I admit I read all of your posts. I related to quite a lot. I don't know if you'll see this, looks like you haven't blogged much lately. Thanks for your honesty, it was refreshing.

Eli, since you and I have a sort of 'history' on here, I'll write freely--whenever has THAT not happened--grin!

I believe that music of almost any genre has great purpose. Even the "...shepherds heard the angels singing." Shepherds for their part, were tending their flocks, not "fixing things"--I'm grinning!!!

And music (from Beethoven to Jon Bon Jovi) is powerful enough to lift the human heart and spirit above the frantic world of finance, consumerism, greed, and selfishness--I know all about that last one!

Recall that saying:

"Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak." William Congreve...

The best supportive thought is those "choirs of angels" filling the sky...and music IS nature--waves, harmonic sequences, rhythm, melody, sometimes expressive words. Did i make a point, Eli?

Whenever teacher told us "five hundred words or less", I always did 700 words, and have the low grades to prove it!!!

Blessings, and PEACE to you Eli, and your family.

The real life to me is infinitely more interesting than the fantasy world. I never drugged or porned but I would imagine loss of self is the fall out from all of that.
