The First Big Step

The First Big StepSo where do you start if you think you struggle with sexual addiction?  Some of us tried everything before we finally made the first step.  We tried to manage our impulses on our own.  We told our selves we can lick this.  We made excuses as to why the meetings were too inconvenient or why we didn't feel like going.

Finally, we made that longest walk across the parking lot.  We went to an SLAA meeting here in Boone, NC.  To our surprise, we were met by people just like us.  We were encouraged to hear their stories and were surprised to identify with common elements that matched our own.  We saw that people were not beaten down with shame but actually had learned how to move beyond their disease into service.

Going to a meeting was the first important step.  And we are thankful we did before things got worse.
