Nah ive been on this site for a few years now. I originally came on because I was in a bad place, going out all the time getting up to no good and I thought something has to change. I came on here for advice and stuff and it helped me grow closer to sikhi but over the past few years I keep drifting apart. I find myself back on here when I turn bad again. Im not as bad as I used to be and have made changes but im still far from where I want to be.... this time round it was a number of things that made me come back on here. I noticed myself slipping into bad habits again and then the thing with this girl sort of fueled it - I thought my life was finally sorted after meeting her but it feels like my luck in life is crap so I came back on here to keep faith help me keep going

I can understand to an extent. There are times when I literally feel like leaving the country just so i can get away and start fresh. The fact that you feel that you have made improvements just shows that you are slowly becoming the person you want to be. However, you shouldnt be going out all night doing whatever. Just think to yourself when you finally do get engaged and married how will your wife feel knowing that her husband has been going out doing all kinds of things. Thats probably the one thing that has always stopped me from doing things i would regret. You need to really consider your future. At the same time, i can understand that making up excuses can be difficult. Just cut your friends off. It sounds harsh but do it. You dont need that kind of company.

Its good that you are making changes. I just hope nobody holds your past against you and that your future wife and family can accept your past because not all girls can accept somebody who makes mistakes. Im not trying to make you feel bad but its like thay saying:  A mistake is once but if you keep doing it then it becomes a choice.  

I think as long as you keep making the right choices and have a bit of dignity and respect then you will be fine.

I guess there not true friends. Rather than encouraging and supporting they sit there and take the P lol I’m not really bothered about what they want think anymore. The most difficult part for me is explaining why I’m not coming out when they ring.

They don’t understand why you are changing, but still it’s wrong for them to behave like this. It’s because they can’t see past what they think is “normal”. And they’re probably afraid of change themselves and losing a member of the group who they get confidence from. But why should you carry on feeding their confidence, when you need to help yourself first. 

Many friends may come and go, but don’t waste your life on something you don’t want to do just for the sake of it. You never know, they may start to think about themselves too, once you let go of that way of life. You can still be friends, but just have different lifestyles, just don’t become enemies with anybody in the process. It’s good you’re not bothered about them anymore, this  shows the change that’s taking place on a positive note. 

When somebody calls and I don’t want to do something or talk, I don’t answer it ?.  Just let the call go to voicemail and listen to it in your own time when you’re ready to. This way, you won’t be pressured into making a decision.

Going to the actual gurdwara is easy because I enjoy it and want to do it 

Because you want to do it, is what matters. And that’s what’s going to help you. 

Guest Kaur is right, do you really want to be around those that keep dragging you down? She’s said some good things about your future.

Totally agree and I understand if someone cant accept the mistakes ive made. I would find it difficult if it was the other way round 

Yeah Im no angel but I dont think I could except it if my future husband had been with other girls just because I dont go around doing stuff like that. But I know way too many boys and girls that just go round doing what they like and the worst thing is nobody cares and they get married soo easily. I am surprised that you have not found somebody yourself especially if you go out and about.

I used to always be out and about but ive never been that type of guy. Im not a very confident person in that manner so I havent been able to meet anyone in that way. Im trying to keep faith in waheguru and just hoping it will happen when he wants it to - I really hope he doesnt want me to be alone forever lol but what will be, will be 

Yeh I agree. When the timing is right it will happen.  Its just a waiting game. A really annoying irritating and frustrating wait.  I hope this girl you have fallen for changes her mind. You sound like a nice decent person despite the fact that you have made mistakes.

I really doubt that, its been about 3-4 weeks since we last spoke and shes already changed her mind once and then changed it back again. Im trying to accept that I wont be hearing from her again, i just hope shes happy with whatever she chooses in life and whoever she ends up with :) . As for me, I hope that god forgives me for my mistakes in life and finds me someone soon because being alone is tough lol

Well I think thats a good thing that shes changed her mind already. That means that she is just confused but I dont know, I dont want to get your hopes up but it could still be on the cards.

Haha yeah it is tough but i think its worth the wait.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
