Accettazione della volontà di Dio
Tempo fa, un membro del mio gruppo casa ha attraversato un periodo difficile e si chiedeva perché Dio avesse permesso che accadesse. Questo mi ha ricordato qualcosa che mi è successo circa due anni fa.
Acceptation de la volonté de Dieu
Il y a quelque temps, un membre de mon groupe d'appartenance a traversé une période difficile et s'est demandé pourquoi Dieu avait laissé cette situation se produire. Cela m'a rappelé un événement qui m'est arrivé il y a environ deux ans.
قبول مشيئة الرب
قبل فترة، مرّ أحد أعضاء مجموعتي الرئيسية بوقت عصيب وتساءل عن سبب سماح الله بحدوث ذلك. ذكرني هذا بشيء حدث لي قبل حوالي عامين.
Translating Our Literature Is a Powerful Recovery Tool
I came to SA in November 2007 and was granted the grace of sobriety from the first meeting. It was the beginning of SA in our country, we didn’t have SA books or materials, so we used the support of NA-program Step books and an NA-sponsor. I first got involved in SA-literature translation in 2008 when I was offered to translate SA-literature into my native language.
SA Is Not a “Followship”
Knowledge and pride have been big obstacles in my working the Program. “Knowing the Truth,” as mentioned in our White Book (SA 91), has been another obstacle. As I accumulated calendar sobriety, I was unsure why I kept feeling anxious about lust.
Be the Change
It took me a while to understand and put this into my daily program: … the ex-problem [luster] who has found the solution, who is properly armed with facts about himself, can generally win the entire confidence of another [sexaholic] in a few hours. Until such an understanding is reached, little or nothing can be accomplished (AA 18).
Acceptance of God’s Will
A while ago, a fellow in my home group went through a difficult time and wondered why God let it happen. This reminded me of something that happened for me about two years ago.
Asking God to Send a Newcomer
I entered the world of SA through an invitation from a friend of a friend. At the time, I didn’t recognize my own lust addiction. I simply enjoyed the company of women, and I sometimes (read: constantly) indulged in pornography. To me, those explicit images were no different from any movie broadcasted on TV. And when I heard about Sexaholics Anonymous, the word "Anonymous" intrigued me. It seemed to hold excitement, secrecy, and freedom—words my lust craved.
Lust Is Beat
Lust is ugliness disguised as grace. Lust is disgust staring into my face. Lust possesses my entire living space. Lust takes all my hopes to erase. Lust removes the beauty from life. Lust fills the room with unbearable strife.
وقت آن است که زندگی کنم و ببخشم
پورن عزیز، باید بگویم که این عجیب ترین کاری است که در حال حاضر انجام می دهم، اما می خواهم از تو برای چیزهای زیادی تشکر کنم. میدانی، ما الان حدود 126 روز با هم در تماس نبوده ایم. (اما چه اهمیتی دارد!)، و نمی‌خواهم دروغ بگویم – واقعاً دلم برایت تنگ شده است.بسیار زیاد. می‌بینی؟ من حتی روزها را هم می شمارم! این نشان می‌دهد چقدر تو در زندگی من مهم بودی!! و اگرچه من دیگر تو را در زندگی ام نمی خواهم، اما زمانی بود که تو برای بقای من حیاتی بودی. ما مشکلات زیادی را با هم پشت سر گذاشته ایم و اگرچه زمان خداحافظی فرا رسیده است، ابتدا باید واقعاً از تو تشکر کنم.
