More about anonymity

Wow. A reader. Thanks Ms. Undecided for wanting me to post more.

Continuing on my theme of anonymity, before I was married which would be in the ball park of 24 years ago, I got my first dose of anonymity by going to Sexaholics Anonymous. Really sort of enjoyed some very good and deep conversations with a wide range of people. We were very open about our struggles, etc.

At that time, in spite of my Christian faith, I was addicted to porn, and spiraled into strip joints, prostitutes, etc.

Several years ago, when I was in a massive depression, I spent a month at a Christian out patient, mental health facility. We had group therapy several times a day. We got real with one another in a hurry. Some of those people knew more about me, than close friends I have known for years.

In many ways it felt good.

So why is it easier to be real, in the land of anonymity? Not totally sure.

Anonymous

It is amazing to me, how much more open I am as to what I share in as an anonymous person.
