7. And today, I'm feeling even better.

I guess I never really said that I was surprised to hear that you had a porn addiction. But honestly, I am. I don't like saying that because it could come across badly and I never want to make you feel ashamed of something, especially after you have worked so hard to fix it. But truly I was surprised. But I see that as a good thing. I think I can say I know you pretty dang well, and know what you believe is right. And I know it's easy to get down on yourself for doing something that is so unlike you and against what you stand for. But at the same time, you need to be grateful that it IS so unlike you. Although you did do those things, it didn't change who you are as a person. You are still a fantastic human being who has a huge amount of respect for people. Porn couldn't change that, because that is who you are.

From the person I told last night. That, right there, is what real support is. That's love for a friend in need. And I welcome it with all my heart. I am immensely lucky at times.
