Moving Out Of Shame

The thing that binds us in our addiction is shame.  It is painful to talk about our exploits and so we isolate.  Yet it is this isolation that fuels and perpetuates our addiction.

This is why the fellowship of SLAA is important.  We come out of shame into a community of those who understand.  In every meeting we read:


"Our main purpose tonight is to make you feel welcome and share with you are message of recovery from sex and love addiction.  Please be assured that we are not the arbiters of anyone's sexual or romantic conduct.  What you choose to do or not do is your business.  We are only here to help you and to help ourselves."



Only in such a fellowship can we begin to face our compulsive behavior and move towards healing.
