I'm Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DLD]

I'm back to good old Massachusetts. Back to my comfort zone. Back to my dumpy apartment. Back to my boy. Back to my cat and hamster. I am tired but I had a wonderful trip. I did many things that I never dreamed I could ever do again. I flew on an airplain with tons of people. I went out to restaurants. I even went to see Charlies Angels 2 at a theatre! These are very big steps in my life...I just hope I can continue to make progress.

DLD,

Welcome back... A trip is good for the soul, yet it's always nice to be home...

Figured you'd be bogged down with emails. I answer emails for a day-job, so know the feeling.

Hey DLD, nice to be home isn't it? I know you will continue to make progress with your OCD. Just hang onto the Penis Enlargement attitude and don't worry about where you've been, only worry about where you are going in your fight against the condition.( I say condition because I don't think some people would understand that it is actually a psychological disease.) Now that you are home don't do the "easy" thing and hideout in your apartment. It's so easy to get caught in that trap of repeating what we think is normal because that is what feels comfortable and safe. Pretty soon you will forget what you accomplished in Florida and regress back to your old self. Please don't let this happen Bro. Start taking Jen and Armand out for dinner, shopping, movies, whatever. The more and more you repeat the process the more it will become second nature and pretty soon the fear won't exist. Just remember what you have gained and how good it felt to be able to do those things and you will realize that the victories you win and the rewards you reap mean too much to let it slip away. I don't have OCD myself, but if you are wondering, I am an addict that has been clean for ten years. What I wrote here is personal but it's the attitude I adopted for myself during recovery. If I see the potential for my words to help somebody I will openly state what you are reading here. Even if it doesn't help you, it may unknowingly help one of our members. B1.

Thanks Rain. It was a wonderful time but I also am happy to be home and back to work. I am going to start answering emails after I catch up on the forums.

You are right on target. I am finding myself looking forward to getting back into my old routine, I am almost excited to return to my ocd life. I am going to try to listen to your advice and try to continue to make progress. By the way I am a recovering Heroin addict (4 years) so I can relate to that side of things too.
