Hi Samuel. I've been watching your video blogs for a couple weeks now, and I can't tell you how much they have helped me. Is there a way to email you with a question instead of posting questions in the comment section of your blog? I apologize if the link is posted somewhere, and I don't see it. I'm in a fog most of the time.

Hi Samuel
I am sitting here eating lunch and have played the blog entitled, A Word of Encouragement for those Struggling to go on in Recovery, 5 times, trying to get this message burned into my brain. I am the betrayed, “D” was January 3 of this year. I have had emotions all over the place, early on I was deeply, emotionally, spiritually devastated, I still am, but I have seen a small improvement.
I began listening to your blogs in the latter part of January, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for you sincerity , honesty and openness about this most difficult journey. Some days I listen to 15 or more of your blogs, sometimes in the middle of the night. I just want you to know how much you are appreciated doing the work you have been called to do. You have helped me and will continue to do so as I continued to move forward ever so slow at times. I know I can’t give up albeit sometimes I want too. I have been married 17 years, my husband was addicted to porn for 42 years, most his life. Thank you again for caring enough to share your knowledge and I know you are concerned about all of us on this journey. Kacee
