Freedom from Bondage

Freedom From the Bondage of Sexaholism

When I first attended Sexaholics Anonymous meetings, I had no idea know of what to do. I decided to attend the meetings because I did not know how to stop my sexual acting out, and I thought that SA might help me. I was definitely struggling to find freedom from lust, and I could not stay stopped.

At the SA meetings, I found that there were people who were sexually sober, who did not act out, and who seemed really happy. And those people talked about working the Twelve Steps of Sexaholics Anonymous. However, I was not one of those people. I thought that I could just pick up enough of the things that the SA members were doing that might be helpful for me, and then I would practice those things in my own way.  But that did not work so well. I did not stay sober for long, and my life continued to get worse

Many years later, I found myself completely sick and tired of myself and my uncontrollable sex addiction. I was beaten into submission, and that was where I really needed to be. I was finally willing to do anything necessary to get sexually sober and stay sober. And with that attitude change, I was finally willing to do the exact work that the Sexaholics Anonymous members had told me to do all those years ago.

So I went back to SA meetings, got a sponsor, and worked the Twelve Steps as my sponsor told me to do them, and as if my life depended on it. My change in attitude brought me into a right connection with God and proper relationships with others. Today, because of the fellowship of Sexaholics Anonymous, I love being free from the bondage sexaholism.

Thank God for SA. It works if you work it!
