Filling Your Emotional Cup With Safe People
Below is what I shared with a lady in the fellowship who felt attracted to a man in a mixed meeting:
The Fortress Of Higher Power
As a sexaholic, I am a refugee from the land of “Trying-and-failing-miserably-at-running-my-own-life.”
They Will Point You Out, They Will Judge You
In 2014 I first heard about the program of SA. I identified myself with it, I knew I needed it, but I did not dare take the step and join the program. There were many prejudices in me that prevented me from doing so. I was afraid: I thought they were going to judge me and condemn me since I was leading a double life, a double moral standard.
Freedom From Prejudice
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines “Prejudice” as follows: an unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling, especially when formed without enough thought or knowledge.
My Higher Power Is Here In This Program
I am a recovering sexaholic, since May 25, 2019, working the Steps with a sponsor. I thank my Higher Power, as I conceive it, for being a sexaholic and seeing my multitude of character defects that help me stay in Sexaholics Anonymous.
The Tools That Helped Me Stay Sober
My name is Claire, I was created in the image of God and I am a grateful recovering sexaholic. My sobriety date is July 3, 2002. I need to remind myself that I am an addict because I can easily forget.
Practicing The Principles
Hi, I’m Wendi, sexaholic in Colorado with progressive victory over lust since November 7, 2011.
My Understanding of My Higher Power
I am Kristina from Germany and sober since March 2016 – one day at a time by the grace of my loving Higher Power. When I worked Step 2 with ‘Step into Action’ I wrote something about my Higher Power. As I search for many years in several religions where I could belong to, I found something very very important about “god of my understanding” who gives me strength: for ME it is a SHE most of the time.
Single and Serene
I viewed men as toys or saviors but never as human beings. They filled my time until I found THE ONE who became my god. The fear of not being loved or accepted drove me into depression, misery and fear of abandonment. I believed that the ONE would fix me and fulfill my fantasies and dreams. But each time I sank deeper into a living hell, taking the abuse and telling myself that I was the problem.
Family Reunion
I’m River W., a sober SA woman from Kansas City, Missouri. My sobriety date is August 26, 2015.
