A train wreck, that is how those who have seen me enter the program sometimes tend to describe me.The worst part is that I can’t even deny it. My life had become unmanageable in all areas. Because of my addiction, I was no longer able to take care of myself in the most basic ways.

“We saw that our problem was threefold: physical, emotional and spiritual. Healing had to come about in all three” (SA 204). As a recovering sexaholic, I have taken this statement from “The Solution” to heart. With a little reflection, I can remember what it was like before coming into the rooms of SA over twenty years ago. This healing can only continue with the program tools of working the Steps and reading literature, going to meetings, working with a sponsor, and the help of group members.

An incident today was another lesson in emotional sobriety.
I live in a “golf cart community.” Lots of golf courses, but we also use golf carts to go to the store, to dinner, to recreation, to meetings. Many streets have a dedicated golf cart lane beside the normal traffic lane.

In an AA article, I once read about a fellow who is in the military. He wrote that he is taught to always wear a helmet, that it’s a habit ingrained in him. Going outside means putting on a helmet, period. In the beginning, it was something he had to learn, something people had to keep reminding him to do, and something that had to become a real habit. But eventually, he did it without thinking.

My name is Mervat, and I am a recovering sexaholic, or to be more precise, a lustaholic, from Egypt. I walked through the valley of the shadow of Death—or Lust—since I was a four-year-old. My full-throttle sexual acting-out started when I was 18 years old. I lived in that Lust Valley for more than 3 decades, not knowing the wages I had to pay: my life. It was a miracle that I found SA because all I wanted was to live.

It all started with a pinching pain I felt when doing my Fourth Step work over the past three months. I thought that I would be fine in time.

In my high school there were a lot of international exchange students. I remember people from all around the world coming to Italy with summer clothes even if it was autumn or winter! The same happens when we Northern Italians go to the central or the southern part of the country. Why am I telling you this? In Italy we had a recovery weekend in Rome at the beginning of November. It rained during our incredible walk through the Roman Hills! We thought we could find hot weather, but the only thing that was hot was the radiator.

David M., my grandpa sponsor, just passed away after struggling with cancer for some years. You would never guess he had cancer because he never complained. For me, he was the embodiment of Tradition Two, “Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.”

I am Colombian but currently living in Germany. I registered for the Ukrainian convention the very first day I saw the flyer.

So, without hesitation, I filled out the form and attended my first SA convention!

התאווה למין היא רק פן אחד מתוך הפנים הרבות שישנם בקוביית התאווה רב המימדית. המילה ‘תאווה’ אינה יכולה להיות מוגבלת להיבט המיני בלבד, שכן תאווה היא רק דחף חזק השולט בגישות שלנו. איני יכול להכחיש שהרעיון של תאווה עצמו הוא מורכב, מבלבל ומביך. איך יכול אדם שהוא מוגבל להקיף דבר שנחשב גדול ורחב יותר? אדם שהוא תלת מימדי חי בעולם שהוא בעל ארבע מימדים בעוד שהתאווה היא ישות בעלת מימדים רבים אף יותר.

ההרגשה הטובה הראשונה שאני זוכר בחיי הייתה כשהייתי בן 5 ואבא שלי נתן לי בקבוק בירת ‘רולינג רוק’. ישבתי בפינה, שתיתי אותה והרגשתי איך האלכוהול משפיע עליי. הסתכלתי על אבא שלי מהצד השני של החדר והתמלאתי אהבה כלפיו. זו הייתה הרגשה נפלאה.
