If I were to write a book about sexual addiction recovery, or a list of essays regarding how to break the chains of addiction, or a “How To” guide for new sponsees, what would I include? As I’ve been reading the eBook “Marbles and Battleships” – this is what I’m going to call it right […]

I’m glad to be home. It was a good Thanksgiving weekend, but a bit emotionally draining. I’m not even sure what it is for sure – but it’s really hard to be around my parents and live in recovery. As I’ve studied and read about the Addiction Recovery Relationship, I’d say the hardest part about […]

I had every good intention to wake up earlier this morning (6:15 a.m.), but didn’t end up getting out of bed until 7:00. I guess it’s better than 8:00. Mom and Dad left early this morning to get back to Idaho. It was hard having them here, and I want to make a list of […]

Last night, as I was talking to Becky about where I’m at and things I’m thinking about, one thing that came to mind is to compile a list of the tools I’m using that are helping me live in recovery from addiction. I’m going to just write them out, then I’ll sort them and talk […]

What am I feeling today? I went to my networking meeting this morning, a little late because I slept in a bit, and it was ok. Honestly, I sometimes feel isolated there or like I need to be more selfless and less prideful. I feel like some of the people don’t like me. Granted at […]

It’s the start of a new week. I feel I have a lot to look forward to this week. Last night was a hard night for some reason. I talked to my three sponsees, which went well I think, although I feel that sometimes I need to talk less. After talking with them, I came […]

I’ve missed the last couple days in writing and definitely feel it. It’s good to be back. I have had a couple chances to write thoughts to my sponsees and talk with another friend who may want me to sponsor him at some point. This is one of the things I shared: Thanks for sharing […]

Last night was another weird night for dreams. I don’t even know what it was about exactly, but I remember feeling really isolated, lonely, and maybe even a bit angry. We were on an excursion. I believe Becky was there, at least somewhere, but I was with a bunch of guys I didn’t know. They […]

Yesterday Was Nearly a Perfect Day Well, it’s a new day. As the title says, yesterday was nearly perfect. I didn’t get to read, write, or study – so that was one downside. I didn’t make it to my SA meeting; that was another. But other than that, I feel really grateful for the day. […]
