Je n’ai pas arrêté, j’ai capitulé.

Je n'ai pas arrêté, j'ai capitulé. J'ai commencé mon cheminement dans ce programme lorsqu'une amie Al-Anon m'a dit que j'étais une sexolique. Pour lui prouver qu'elle avait tort, j'ai accepté d'assister à six réunions SA. Au cours de ces six réunions, j'ai lentement admis que j'étais une sexolique. Au début, je ne regardais pas les autres membres dans les yeux et je ne partageais pas. Il y avait six autres femmes SA à ma première réunion du groupe d'appartenance.

The Miracle of Changing Into a Better Me

On March 21, 2011, just 48 hours before I came into this fellowship, I was sober two weeks. On that particular day I was feeling supremely confident that I would never give in to my addiction again. Only problem was, I had had that supreme confidence a thousand times before over almost half a century.

A Reason to Live

Hi everyone, my name is Pat and I am a sexaholic. I am very grateful today for my ongoing recovery from lust. It’s been a long haul. I came into the program in a town in the mid-north island of New Zealand in November of 2016 after becoming increasingly aware that I was losing control and lust was taking over my life. During an all-night binge on a Saturday with alcohol fuelling my lust, I got online and was chatting to women. I wanted to act out so badly but was so drunk I couldn’t figure out how to get to meet someone. A blessing in disguise.

A Different Life, Thanks to the SA Sobriety Definition

I came to SA in 2008. Up until that point, my life had been a succession of compulsive masturbation, pornography, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and countless stealthy contacts or one-night-stands with other men. The only experience of connection was a 20+ year abusive relationship with an alcoholic man.

I Did Not Quit, I Surrendered

I did not quit, I surrendered. I began my journey in this program when a friend from Al-Anon told me I was a sexaholic. To prove her wrong, I agreed to go to six SA meetings. During those six meetings I slowly came to admit that I was a sexaholic. At the beginning I made no eye contact with other members and I did not share. There were six other SA women at my first home group meeting. We went to two meetings a week as a group, which helped me to connect with the program and then I started to share.

Giving Up My Stash Like the Alcoholics

At first I thought that the term, “sobriety,” didn’t fit with what I thought a sexaholic was because I had no experience with alcoholism. But when I came into these rooms eight years ago I learned that sobriety was difficult to obtain because it was about my state of mind and what I might do with it if I didn’t get spiritually fit.

Poświęcanie czasu dla mojej rodziny też jest służbą

Na początku w SA byłem sam, nie miałem pracy, samochodu, pieniędzy - miałem dużo czasu. Był rok 2009, a z powodu kryzysu gospodarczego byłem bezrobotny. Uczestniczyłem w trzech-czterech mitingach tygodniowo, codziennie dzwoniłem do sponsora, codziennie pisałem prace na programie i w ciągu roku przetłumaczyłem całą Białą Księgę, Wielką Księgę i Zdrowienie Postępuje na mój język ojczysty.
