Call for Member Stories

Our last and only previous issue of Member Stories came out in 1989, over six years ago. In the intervening years, our fledgling fellowship has grown in numbers, sobriety, and recovery. Our sobriety definition has been challenged and resoundingly reaffirmed. While some of the members from that time are no longer seen in the rooms of SA, shaky newcomers they sponsored now step forward confidently to take their place. For some of us, the incredible journey is just beginning.

I Found A God That I Could Turn My Life Over To

My name is Patrick, and I’m a sexaholic. I’ve been sexually sober for 28 days, nine months and two years, by the grace of God. And I never thought I’d ever be able to be sexually sober in my life. I was totally powerless over sex, over lust. My life was incredibly out of control, and today I can smile; today I’m happy. I never thought that day would come. I waited a long time for it [Laughter], a long, long time, and I paid a price for this fellowship, which was the highest price that I could ever be expected to pay.

Feedback Corner

I like a newsletter that talks to me, and find it encouraging. Also like the fact that feedback is welcome—found it helpful.

Ready For Sobriety

Through the grace of God and the fellowship and Steps of Sexaholics Anonymous, I have experienced countless victories over lust. Also, I have not found it necessary to act out upon my sexual addiction since July 16, 1991. For this, I will probably never be truly grateful enough.

This Fall has been exciting for our group here in Calgary. Recently, we celebrated the group’s one year anniversary with a large turnout. We added another meeting out of a need, bringing the weekly total to three, which are going strong.

The enclosed check is a group donation from the Quad Cities Sexaholics Anonymous. We are happy to report that although we remain small in numbers, we now have four meetings a week. Just as the Nashville 1990 “Courage To Change” conference was the impetus for our original meeting, the 1995 Baltimore conference inspired us to start two additional meetings.

Dear SA, Just to let you know that our SA group here in the far tropical north of Australia is thriving. We have four to five solid members with recovery of up to six weeks according to the SA definition. Previously affiliated with another sexual recovery fellowship, one of our members travelled to the USA and discovered SA.

The Soul of the Sickness

(The following is an extract from a talk given by Roy K. at the Unity Conference in Orange, CA, on October 8, 1995.) Thank you for bringing us together. I surrender my ego, my fear, all of my defects. I surrender my preparation for this talk and we ask together for Your Presence above all else, that you will dwell in our hearts, be with us as we share together, the exalted, that we may be your servants, helping those who are lost in the tyranny of lust.

What’s Going On in SA

We want to get the word out that most SA literature is now available in Spanish (see Order Form at back). The translations have been made over the years through the outstanding contributions of several, but in particular, one, of our members. Most of the Spanish-speaking world does not know all this literature is available, so help open the door by spreading the word.
