Yes, trying to identify each comment - what strategy was being used - was a hindrance to natural flow.

Question,Question
Situation is as described above; have an addiction issue which led to prison time. Trying to get back on track. Youtube channel is to share things I learned about religion as I took a deep dive with the time I had. Sorry, not wanting to share name. People told me I should become a minister or write a book. The Youtube channel is to share the insights.

Oh no problem regarding the name. I'm sure that you could be helpful to so many. And it must be difficult getting back on track into the wide open world.

America is unforgiving of mistakes initially. But we were a country founded on cast offs from other places. Assume you are in the States, or no?

Problem is mainly no real source of income and covid-19 hasnt helped with job, or having outside association. On ministry I am of a faith without paid ministry. Hence the Youtube channel to reach out and share at the same time.

Knowing that there is a higher power takes the focus off of "me." I think this offers a better way of living.
