“Endgame Strategies Of Choice”
For Sexaholics Anonymous Members

Endgame: the final stage of a game such as chess or bridge, when few pieces or cards remain.

Do you find yourself wanting to be vague about your sobriety date?

The endgame strategy of choice is to say “I am grateful to be sober today.” It allows you to be the mysterious humble one in the meeting without giving an actual sobriety date.

Do you want to get called less often in meetings?

The endgame strategy of choice is to talk like it’s a therapy check-in session, share at least double the expected time, ignore the meeting topic, and don’t mention any Step. You can get an endgame bonus point for saying your therapist told you to share this way in the meeting.

Best methods to help your sponsor practice firing a sponsee.

1 – Contradict and challenge every suggestion

2 – Ask him/her to show you where a suggestion is printed in the Big Book.

3 – Explain since you are focusing on yourself right now there is not time to work the program.

4 – Tell him/her God told you to fix the current crisis in your life, and God said you should not spend time working the Steps.

5 – As you wrap up a “getting current” phone call, before he/she can give you any suggestions tell your sponsor that you have to go.

6 – For any direction the sponsor provides, explain you need to first run it by your therapist, spouse, God, or your sponsor in another fellowship.
