A note of encouragement to you! I have been involved in the program for several months now and at this point I have an incredible 5 weeks sobriety. Praise God for your program, I don’t think I could do it without the meetings and literature.

The SA program is not for everyone; because you so clearly put my own words down on paper, I can more clearly see how good the SA imperative is for me, too. I, too, have had the experience of looking at a face on a member of the opposite sex and starting to obsess about that person, making him into a god or a goddess (depending on your own gender, for I am a woman and you are a man). Personally, I feel that although the old AA advice was to turn your AA group into a Higher Power…this is dangerous advice for the sexaholic. After all, group members have real bodies, and those real bodies are often the source of our obsession — our sexuality, which, if we make the group into a Higher Power, can mean that we are turning our sexaholism into our primary focus, our God if you will, and there goes the disease again (this time under the guise of help rather than harm!).
