The idea of God is what kept me away from Twelve Step programs for many years. When I finally came into Sexaholics Anonymous,  I was so sick that I no longer really cared about what anyone believed. In fact, I was trying to save the affair I was having behind my wife's back, and I thought SA would get rid of the shame and guilt that I felt. It was if the wheels had fallen off the bus, but I was still driving it. In the beginning I just pretended to believe in God, and then things blossomed from there. Now I have nothing to be afraid of. If I can come to believe in a loving God, then anyone can. And my trust in God grows every day. Thank you Sexaholics Anonymous!
