For some of us, the idea of a spiritual program of recovery is difficult.
For some, we had little interest in God and had no regard for religion.
For others, we carried resentment towards our churches or were completely baffled when we realized that our religious beliefs and practices would not deliver us from our sexual addiction.
This program helped us to start over with a clean slate. We came not as an authority on spiritual matters but as those powerless over our sex and love addiction. From that vantage point, some of us found new spiritual paths. Others rediscovered our own faith tradition and received it back with greater depth and richness.
In all cases, we realized what it means that we are not God and that there is something greater than ourselves to be thankful to.
Watauga Shares is the Boone, NC 12-Step Fellowship of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. We meet Monday evenings at 6 PM to share our experience, strength and hope in dealing with recovery from sex addiction and from compulsive sexual and relationship issues. Note: We are now meeting online . Email WataugaShares@gmail.com to get the link to join from your computer, smart phone, or traditional phone.
