J'ai rejoint les Sexoliques Anonymes il y a quatre ans. Avant cela, je n'avais aucune idée que j'étais dépendante. Les pensées suicidaires quotidiennes ont été la goutte d'eau qui a fait déborder le vase. Après être passé à l’acte, je ne me sentais pas bien ; je ressentais simplement une forte douleur et je n'avais aucune idée de ce qu'il fallait faire ou de la façon dont je pouvais m'aider. Je priais pour que Dieu me donne le moyen de sortir de mon obsession.
We hear a great deal about change in the fellowship. Our Serenity Prayer talks of having the “courage to change.” In our early days, sober members talk to us about having the “willingness” to change. But what exactly is change, as it relates to the fellowship and sobriety?
I arrived in SA in 1999 under dire circumstances following a long period of compulsive poor behavior involving few other people but leaving devastation within my own family. I did not discover the extent of the devastation until many years later after engaging in the SA program wholeheartedly.
I came to Sexaholics Anonymous 4 years ago. Before that I had no idea I was an addict. Daily suicidal thoughts were the last straw. After acting out I didn’t feel good; I just felt strong pain and had no idea what to do or how I could help myself. I was praying that God would give me the way out from my obsession.

This topic really challenged me. I have heard people say that one of the things I have to do in this program is change everything about myself. Well, I have changed many things. I have walked through changes with my heart pounding, knees shaking, and feeling physically sick.
