2008 kam ich zu AS. Bis dahin war mein Leben eine Abfolge von zwanghafter Masturbation, Pornografie, Voyeurismus, Exhibitionismus und zahllosen verstohlenen Kontakten oder One-Night-Stands mit anderen Männern gewesen. Die einzige Erfahrung einer Verbindung war eine mehr als zwanzigjährige Missbrauchsbeziehung mit einem alkoholkranken Mann gewesen. Als ich die Nüchternheitsdefinition von AS (ND) das erste mal las, war ich enttäuscht, denn ich fühlte mich anders. Ich definierte mich immer noch als schwul (engl. „gay“, eigentlich fröhlich, lustig), obwohl an meiner Situation nichts fröhliches mehr war.

Hallo zusammen, mein Name ist Pat und ich bin ein Sexaholiker. Ich bin heute sehr dankbar für meine anhaltende Genesung von der Lüsternheit. Es war ein langer Weg. Ich kam im November 2016 in einer Stadt in der Mitte der Nordinsel Neuseelands in das Programm, nachdem mir zunehmend bewusst wurde, dass ich die Kontrolle verlor und die Lüsternheit mein Leben beherrschte.

Am 21. März 2011, nur 48 Stunden bevor ich in diese Gemeinschaft kam, war ich zwei Wochen trocken. An diesem einen Tag war ich mir extrem sicher, dass ich nie wieder meiner Sucht nachgeben würde.

Au début, je pensais que le terme “sobriété” ne correspondait pas à l’idée que je me faisais d’un sexolique, car je n’avais aucune expérience de l’alcoolisme.

Je n’ai pas arrêté, j’ai capitulé. J’ai commencé mon cheminement dans ce programme lorsqu’une amie Al-Anon m’a dit que j’étais une sexolique. Pour lui prouver qu’elle avait tort, j’ai accepté d’assister à six réunions SA. Au cours de ces six réunions, j’ai lentement admis que j’étais une sexolique. Au début, je ne regardais pas les autres membres dans les yeux et je ne partageais pas. Il y avait six autres femmes SA à ma première réunion du groupe d’appartenance.

Ma vie en rétablissement est pleine de miracles aujourd’hui – le plus grand d’entre eux est que je me remets de cette maladie, de cet esclavage à la luxure, pour lequel il n’y a pas de remède. Un autre grand miracle est que je suis reconnaissante aujourd’hui, alors que je ne l’étais jamais auparavant.

Je suis arrivé aux SA en 2008. Jusqu’alors, ma vie n’avait été qu’une succession de masturbation compulsive, de pornographie, de voyeurisme, d’exhibitionnisme et d’innombrables contacts furtifs ou d’aventures d’un soir avec d’autres hommes. La seule expérience de connexion était une relation abusive de plus de 20 ans avec un homme alcoolique.

Bonjour à tous, je m’appelle Pat et je suis un sexolique. Aujourd’hui, je suis très reconnaissant d’être en train de me remettre de la luxure. Le chemin a été long. Je suis entré dans le programme dans une ville du milieu de l’île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande en novembre 2016 après avoir pris de plus en plus conscience que je perdais la maîtrise et que la luxure prenait le contrôle de ma vie.

Le 21 mars 2011, 48 heures seulement avant mon entrée dans cette fraternité, j’étais sobre depuis deux semaines. Ce jour-là, j’avais la certitude absolue que je ne céderais plus jamais à ma dépendance. Le seul problème, c’est que j’avais eu cette confiance suprême des milliers de fois auparavant, pendant près d’un demi-siècle.

Clarity … clarity is something that I need and wish to have and never lose.
Clarity is something that I get when I pause, listen and think.
Clarity is a God-given present when I take care of myself and others.
Clarity is what I get when I don’t let life challenges take over my brain.
Clarity is what happens when I try to become a channel of Thy peace.
Clarity is when my brain is clear and I can think in a healthy fashion.

My story regarding accepting the SA sobriety definition begins when I was first dabbling in
accountability and monitoring from others—but not yet in SA. My main goal was to stop masturbating, but I wasn’t yet ready to give up sex outside of marriage and certainly didn’t have a desire to stop lusting.
