Montreal, Canada

What a fantastic one-day SA seminar I attended yesterday in Montreal. We were 33 SA members, and most benefited from intensive sharing and discussions about the powerful spiritual program provided by our SA fellowship.

I do believe that God has really granted us a strong group in Montreal, where several members have now reached a valid and solid sexual sobriety. We are all using the diversified spiritual tools provided by the White Book, attempting to live the solution to this deadly disease called lust.

I thought I would let you know about this one-day seminar and share with you my enthusiasm about what’s happening in our area. I never saw so many new members, really dedicated to the program and willing to get out of these unbearable emotional and physical pains resulting from active lust.

Progressive recovery is really what’s happening in my own life, and I do discover that one cannot push recovery. It is God’s decision on his schedule and timing…. Life gets better if one can walk through the emotional pains of ego deflation at depth and keep facing one’s own defects. That is exactly what I am attempting to realize with the SA program.

Personally I find that the 18 spiritual tools provided by the White Book, from page 158 to 168 are really helpful and extremely powerful tools when lust attacks at unpredictable times during the day. I have used them so much in the last year that my faith in their effectiveness has grown tremendously. All members of the group are also using them as well. We made small photocopies of these 13 pages and they are small enough in size, and yet quite readable, that they can be carried in one’s pocket for quick reference.
