    • If You’ve Ever Thought About Giving Up, Read This First.

      never giving upI’m going to say the stuff no one wants to admit out loud. Why giving up can't happen.

      Right now, I have two kids I can barely feed. Prices keep rising with no end in sight, but wages remain the same. I have two jobs that drain the life out of me, a blog that feels like a full-time job with no paycheck, and a mortgage that chokes me some nights when I lie awake in the dark. I am bone tired, soul tired, hope tired.

      And yet, here I am. Begging myself daily to stop thinking about giving up and to focus on the fact that I'm still showing up.

      Why? Because I have a fire in me I can’t put out, even if I wanted to. Because I didn’t make it through 20 years of addiction, losses, disappointments, jail, trauma, shame, and grief just to quit when things get hard. I’m here because I believe — no, I know — I was put on this earth to help others who feel like I used to feel: broken, hopeless, ashamed, invisible.

      Some days, it almost feels like it’d be easier to go back to the streets. That’s the ugly truth. I know how to hustle. I know how to survive. But survival isn’t the same as living, and I refuse to show my babies a life of survival when I’ve already clawed my way back to something better.

      This blog, this business, this dream — it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Yes, even harder than recovery. Because at least when I got clean, I didn’t have to market myself, learn SEO, buy plugins, post reels, and beg algorithms to notice me. I just had to not die.

      But this? This is where I try to turn pain into purpose. This is where I bleed on the page, hoping someone out there sees their reflection in my story and decides not to give up.

      I’m not trying to go viral. I’m trying to create a movement. I want this forum to be a safe space for people like me. People who’ve seen hell and clawed their way back with nothing but grit and grace. People who want more — more truth, more healing, more raw connection, and more fucking freedom.

      If that’s you, say something here. I want to know you. I want to hear you. I want to build something with you.

      Because I’m not perfect, I’m progressing. And I know I’m not the only one.

      Let’s get real. Let’s get loud. Let’s get free. Giving up is... not... an... option... ever.

      — Sam

    • PNP Law of Attraction & Spirituality Forum
      LOA & Spirituality Forum Welcome to PNP LOA & Spirituality Forum. This is a forum for talking about anything The Law of Attraction and spirituality related and beyond. I am also going to let you know this is a place where we can talk about all things Metaphysical and all things new earth, government (not Politics), and anything of this nature from crystals to new thought. This is the forum. Please create a new thread for all new topics in this forum, i.e., Crystals or Meditation. If you subscribe to this forum, you can also receive access to my personal meditation folder, which includes every mp3 that makes The Gateway Audios. If you don't know, this is a series of audios used by the CIA to train their agents to remote view and astral travel during the Cold War. It was created by Robert Monroe and The Monroe Institute. All of the audios together cost over $1000 if you have to purchase them separately, and unfortunately, I did. Now, you can find them much cheaper, but you won't need to worry about that now, will you? Be Respectful and kind in all forums, and never substitute any advice or suggestions given in these forums as professional medical or psychiatric advice.

    • PNP Actively Using Support Forums
      Active Use Forum Intro Block   This forum is particularly for those of us who are still actively using substances and need support, have questions, etc. <span;>Welcome to PNP forums. I am so glad to have you here. As you know, my mission is to create an all-inclusive, judgment-free, supportive, no-requirements-for-entry community where teachers learn, and learners teach. You take what you want and leave the rest. I want you to be able to speak freely with no fear of being judged or fear of reparations. I am not planning to moderate heavily, so just be kind, lead with love, and offer and receive as much support as you want and/or need. I know there will be some 'heavy' issues discussed in these forums, so try to keep in mind that these are public forums. I may have to incorporate some rules at some point, but this will depend entirely on the members. Just be mindful of glamourizing use. Misery loves company is not welcome here. I am an egalitarian, so I respect all genders and races and expect you to while you're here. This is non-negotiable—zero tolerance. Just be respectful. There is already so much negativity out there without us adding to it. Let's build one another up, never tear down.  Keep in mind that this is a growing community, so it may be a little ghost townish around here. I will always reply to any threads and help in any way I'm able, even when I'm the only one. I'm still here, and I've been there. You can and will be here too. Be patient, love one another, share, support my work and mission, and KEEP COMING BACK! You are valued, loved, and capable. Metta, friends
