I think there's nothing wrong with doubts. What kind of God would He be if he couldn't stand up to some doubts?

Thanks for your post.

Hi Dave,

Hope things are still going well for you. How's the meditation and the questions about life?

Have a good day today!

Hi Everyone:

Sorry for the long delay in posting. I'm doing great! I've got well over 6 months of sobriety. I haven't been here for a long time, though. I have been going to approximately two Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings every week, calling my sponsor every day, and doing many things to stay sober: calling guys in the program, praying, and working the steps. I'm on Step 4: taking inventory of my moral defects. They are (so far!) arrogance, laziness, lack of self-control, and anger. Other than that, I'm a complete angel!

Great news! And great to hear from you Dave!

Keep up the good work. Are you working and going to school (or one or the other?).

A busy schedule helps too, which is what your situation sounds like...

Go Big,

Daniel

Thanks, StarPuppy! I'm gearing up to go to a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting in a couple of hours. I find that these meetings are very useful. I'm also working on my 4th Step, which is an inventory of all of my character defects. Hope everyone is doing well!

Dave!

So glad you checked in. We were wondering how progress was going. I am so happy for you that it is going so well!

Keep on fighting and stay strong.

Peace,

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't been around much, but at least I can report that I continue to be sober and in recovery. In fact, today is my 9 month sobriety anniversary! Woo Hoo! Thank you to all of you. Without your help, I could not have done it.

I've been going to SAA meetings approximately twice per week since February. I am the treasurer for one of the meetings. I have a sponsor, whom I must call every day. Every day I need to tell him 3 things I will do that day for my sobriety. These include: writing in my journal about my addiction (12 step work), calling someone else in the program, praying, going to a meeting, or reading the SAA or AA literature. I can say that my sponsor, the whole SAA structure, plus a very good Internet filter (Net Nanny), the support of my partner and, of course, my Higher Power (which I can define anyway that I wish) have kept me sober.

I hope to be around here more frequently. I'm sorry I haven't been much use lately to this website.
