Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

FBW then 46, XWHNPDPAFTG the destroyer of my entire life. D-Day 1 '99, D-Day 2,3,4,5,6... '09-'11, D '15. I fell apart. I put myself back together. Forgiveness isn't required. I'm happy and healthy now, and MY new life is good.

First of all, this is a great post so thank you for taking the time to write it out. I visit that dark place quite often and will definitely try your advice.
Second, please let me know if this is inappropriate or threadjacking, but I wanted to ask about handling the mind movies during intimate moments. For myself, my wife has refused to R and although this is NNN, I've found myself looking at porn to distract myself and to fill the physical void. However, I've been finding it difficult because of the mind movies. Any suggestions?
Again, let me know if this is inappropriate and I can edit and start a new thread or something.

Great post! Mindfulness is amazing!
Another trick:
Picture yourself on a stage performing a favorite song, preferably one that you know all the words to (if you don’t know all the words, make them up). If it’s upbeat and you can create some dance moves—all the better!
