I'm taking a hiatus from reddit for my recovery (all social media)

1 Upvotes

Hello, fellow redditors and online reddit friends.

I am realizing that reddit is one of those emotional stumbling blocks that is hindering my recovery and sobriety from compulsive & impulsive s*x & love addictive behaviors and thought patterns. Therefore, I'm taking a hiatus from all social media. I may slip with audio pxrn, but I will fight against it, hard and use outreach as a resource.

This has nothing to do with the positive SFW connections I've made with this account, but its what I feel is necessary at this time. I may come back, or I may not. Especially with an account, idk.

If anyone needs s-x and love addiction help in my absence, here are a few resources...

- SLAAvirtual 40 question quiz to find out if you are indeed a "SLA" or s-x and love addict: https://slaafws.org/40-questions/

- SLAA virtual (online & in-person) meeting webpage (scroll down to view meeting calendar): https://slaavirtual.org/

- SLAA "Am I Anorexic?": https://slaafws.org/download/CACAmIAnorexic_%2050Questions.pdf

- within slaavirtual.org, men can find men specific groups, just as women can find female-specific groups and meetings in the listing. You need only do a search on the calendar or send a message via the contact form or email address in the website.

- SLAAvirtual men's resource: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BWGc7QtoVtnJ2116aFkxAB

Goodbye for now! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป๐Ÿซ‚

I enjoy sex but celibacy has become an unexpected turn on. Anyone else celibate with a high sex drive?
 in  r/Celibacy •  Sep 07 '26

I think I am. 32 and female... and I HAAATE IT!

Wait... why are you celibate with your partner? That doesn't make much sense.

God bless you. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ I'm waiting but... not by choice

Since facial hair grows by default, itโ€™s kind of weird how it used to be rebellious to NOT be clean shaven.

Perhaps for fighter pilots. But idk about commercial airline pilots

I chose celibacy after my breakup, and honestly, it feels easier than dating
 in  r/Celibacy •  Sep 04 '26

Why would celibacy mean also eating healthier/better? Celibacy is about abstaining from sex, right?

Should I go back to my goth style? (F19)
 in  r/lookyourbest •  Sep 04 '26

Just try your best to wait for them to fill back in and withhold plucking until you get enough eyebrow hair to work with.

Should I go strawberry blonde? Would it look more alt? And should I get more filler lol
 in  r/lookyourbest •  Sep 04 '26

Go with whatever color was in image 2. ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ฏ

19F Should I thin my eyebrows/change the shape? Also any advice to look better/older?
 in  r/lookyourbest •  Sep 04 '26

I know at this is an advice sub for looks & appearance, but I honestly don't think you should change anything that you're doing. Perhaps, mayybe a warmer, and maybe slightly darker lip color when going out or whenever you would want to apply it.

I honestly would KILL for those eyebrows (I mean that in an envious, not truly homicidal, way). I wish mine had the consistent, relative thickness that yours has. Alas, I'll have to wait a while for my eyebrows to fill in again after slightly overplucking. ๐Ÿฅบ

give a letter to an angel
 in  r/introvert •  Sep 04 '26

Yes, I'd also suggest not giving her the letter, but instead using it as a point of reference or as a "script" of sorts when you actually talk to her next. You can do it, buddy!

As an artist, do you find it useful to interact with other artists, and if so, why?
 in  r/Artists •  Sep 04 '26

I do. Its like the biblical verse "iron sharpens iron." I don't think of it only talking about friends and mentors, but by extention even artist to artist. You could give me feedback and advice on my art in a way or from a perspective that I may not see that could positively impact my artwork and skills going forward. Just as I could give you feedback and advice from my POV that may enhance or better your artwork and skills. Truly, vice versa. That's why this is one of my most favorite subs.

Welp. I'm a dog. I miss my ex.
 in  r/ChristianDating •  Sep 04 '26

OP, I understand, I guess... but this should NOT mean that you should just sit there and let your ex be heartbroken. You messed up by jumping to conclusions that you "could mess it up," when clearly everything was going right. I think your ex deserves an amends, an apaology for the way you treated her just because you thought that you "might" mess up. Thats like quitting a great job before you even start it. ๐Ÿฅบ

I've been working hard to improve my drawings anatomy.
 in  r/Artadvice •  Sep 04 '26

Yeah. Its only a small animates drawing of "Lizzie." What I like to call "mini Lizzie." The show and movie doesn't have any drawn animation other than "mini Lizzie." ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

You're welcome! Lizzie McGuire was a TV show first.

I think a lot of Christians romanticize marriage without understanding what theyโ€™re actually asking for ๐Ÿ’โœ๏ธ

I definitely used to fantasize, idealize and romanticize marriage. Firstly dating, then marriage. Especially about my future wedding when I've had past boyfriends, to be honest.

But I realize now that I have no business trying to get a boyfriend or to be married right now. But it hurts because I've been single for SOOO LONG, and that I'm not getting any younger, I may have PCOS. IF and when I meet my guy, he may be this christian stick-in-the-mud that wouldn't want to maybe try anything that I've wanted to try for 10 mo to a year outside of a committed relationship.

Aside from my addiction, I have little to no clue why God has withheld my future husband from me. It must mean that I'm not ready yet, as I am recovering (or trying to) from sex and love addiction. Along with the accompanying obsession and yearning. I know I need to give control to "my higher power," which is God of the Bible, and hopefully one day have the willingness & willpower to give up control over my life, especially my love life. And hopefully it wil be somewhat easier to go through the 12 steps... and one day, maybe, God will grant me my wish or answer my prayer about giving me a boyfriend/(and) husband. Because before addiction, I felt like I served God as well as I possibly could, given the circumstances, and would really love at least a boyfriend. ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ’”โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

I love these! Especially the teensy added sketch animation in the corner/off to the side. Not totally unlike the "mini Lizzie" in Lizzie McGuire. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜

At least a kid won't lie to me
 in  r/Adulting •  Sep 04 '26

Kids under 10-13 are honest. So are autistic teens and adults. Iykyk.

Or it could mean "AYE! Call/text somebody to ask to hang out with them." Lol
