    One of the things that I never really expected to dive into when I started this process of recovery was figuring out what my sexuality was. I knew what sex was, my problem was just when, where, how, what and who I expressed with. Pictures, videos, ...

    Hopefully not for many years. That isn't to say that I don't want to work the program or just act out and forget it all. I am too blessed in my life to do that. No, I know I won't be recovered until I am, God willing and depending on His mercy, stand...

  • I am addicted to what?

    I just realized that I am addicted to the most basic human connection at the deepest level. That is what I am searching for when I act out, I will never find it acting out but that is what I am seeking. Union on the deepest level, the electric feel...

I appreciate you sharing this with the world like this. I just recently found out that my husband of two months has been cheating on me for a month and he states that he thinks he is a sex addict. I really need someone to talk to. Reading your post really helped me. My husband will be seeing a therapist soon. thank you again

Good luck with your recovery. What makes me sad/mad about SXaholics and certain other recovering sx addicts is that you have only one way to recover (i.e., within a monogamous heterose*ual marriage), and that you invalidate others. For example, two people in a 20-year-long monogamous relationship are not, in your view, sober.

Your link about the Cali gov's Milk day bill, etc. makes me think that this is your view. Also, the White Book is SA's big book.

Again, good luck to you. Please don't invalidate the recovery of others. I am a g*y man. God loves me, not in spite of my se*uality but because of it. I have gifts that you do not have and vice versa.
