On July 26, 2007 at 5:00 p.m., I was arrested in a small Southern city for propositioning an undercover police officer in a city park. I never wanted to go to that city again and legally can never be in one of their parks again. Last night, however, business travel took me there briefly.
While in prison, some of my fellows and I found that we all spoke fondly of one particular board game from our youth. After recounting past glories, we sought to obtain a copy of the game.
One morning in the spring of 2000, my mother threatened to throw me out of the house when I arrived home at 5:00 a.m. I ran away that night so I could continue acting out. I was 21. I had been attending college full-time and had two part-time jobs, but I dropped out of school and didn’t show up at work so I could act out.
Sometimes we need to get away from our day-to-day recovery and take a look at our program from a different point of view. The Serenity in the Rockies conference is designed to help members do just that.
Dear Fellow SA Members: I’ve asked Dave Mc., Finance Committee member, to take my space this month to provide a brief overview of the 2008-2009 budget. We are grateful for the service of all Finance Committee members.
I am a sexaholic from Peru. For the last eight months, I have regularly attended an SA group in Lima. In our group, we practice writing affirmations as part of our Step Three work.
Over the holidays, I attended a French-speaking meeting in Canada. I enjoyed seeing their black-and-white copies of ESSAY. But I found that the language barrier has kept them from hearing of lot of experience, strength, and hope.
I’m Brian, a grateful recovering sexaholic and chair of SA’s International Committee. Our committee focuses on the still-suffering sexaholics outside of North America, Australia, the UK, and Germany.
My AA sponsor used to say “Thinking, not drinking is your problem.” Today I realize that thinking has caused as many problems for me as drinking, drugging, and lusting.
I read this today: “God won’t help me do my will, but He’ll gladly help me do His will.”
