Eric-I agree. It’s hard for me to get out of my comfort zone, a lot. I liken it to a turtle stepping out of it’s shell, one foot at a time, slowly, checking the ground to make sure it’s sturdy. I even give this advice to folks because even getting out slowly is better than not at all.

Thanks for your encouragement, Eric. You are “one of those” that I look up to and admire, and I don’t even know you…. scary

Thanks too for stopping by!

One of my Judas's would definitely be comfort. Such a deceiving little thing, being comfortable can be a powerful addiction. Once we feel it on a consistent basis, we will do most anything to keep it in it's 'rightful' place. It is the desire to be comfortable that often holds me back from doing the 'right thing'. I really enjoyed your post, Scott and appreciate your honesty in the blogosphere. Keep it up! Eric. Eric Hamm’s last blog post..The Color Of Passion | Community Insight

Hey Barbara- Thank YOU for stopping by here and chatting.

I’m sure “You’ve come a long way, haven’t you?” is a rhetorical question, but, YES indeed and I feel as though I haven’t stopped. It truly is a blessing to be able to share with everyone.

Support group is what I’m hoping for, but I’m having such a blast now, I consider it a success and am enjoying where my blogging is today.

Again, Thanks!

Hi Scott – First off, thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. It was from there, I found your blog. I love how that works.

I do agree, we all have our Judas’ and it’s how we handle them that determines the outcome. I love how you shared your story and how instead of being tempted, you’re stronger. You’ve come a long way, haven’t you? Kudos to you for sharing your journey as well as your experiences. I’m guessing your story will help many.

That which you write is the foundation of what could be a fabulous virtual support group for other alcoholics and/or addicts.

Neil – Hey man! Thanks for stopping by. This was my take on that whole Judas situation. I’d never heard it that way either, so I was a bit skeptical to post it. Now that I’m level headed (more than I was anyway) I just felt I needed to.

I’m glad you stopped in for a visit. Look forward to having you around!

Interesting article. As you say we all have our Judas’, it’s just a question of whether we know it or not. More importantly if we’re willing to admit it to ourselves, nevermind others. I look forward to reading more from you. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Judas used in this perspective in Church, I think more preachers should take your approach.
