REPAIR Redux

It's been over two years since I first posted about the REPAIR group I wanted to start. I did get four other men interested in a group and, until recently, we were meeting weekly. In order to expedite the formation of a group I had to compromise the principles that I outlined in that original post. I found other men through SAA and we formed what is commonly referred to as a "Feedback Group." While the group was helpful I didn't feel like it went far enough. The focus was never primarily about where we wanted to get to but where we were coming from. While I think it is helpful to be aware of where you've been and where you are now, without a clear vision of where you want to go, I think that recovery is much more challenging, or even impossible.

Perhaps the time is right for this group to happen now. I'm still interested in finding other men who want to take this journey towards fulfilling their potential. This starts with clarifying goals for ourselves and is followed by consistent effort towards attaining them. The group that I envision, and want to be a part of, is a group where we focus on these goals and support one another in achieving them. I'm not talking here about the goal of refraining from porn. That is a given. I'm talking about the goals that get us excited about getting up in the morning. The goals that we are working towards every day. That goals that are tangible which lend themselves to easily tracking our progress.

Please contact me if this is something that you are interested in or if you'd like to discuss this. Read the original post, dated July 27, 2009 for a more in-depth look at my ideas around recovery.
