From Desperation to Purpose


Desperation brought us together.  We found in each other what we could find nowhere else:  People who knew the depth of our pain.  Together we found hope and the care of a loving Higher Power.  Our commitment is to help others recover from sexual addiction, just as we have been helped. 

What if the thing that seems so devastating in my life can actually be part of my calling and purpose?

Sexual addiction was that which made my life out of control.  It had the potential to destroy everything that was important and I couldn't do anything about it.  I remember that feeling of despair wondering if I just need to budget more money to act out on business trips until I either got caught or caught a fatal disease.  This desperation landed me in the meeting rooms.  But as the solution began to set in, it began to dawn on me that this deliverance that was given to me can be the thing that helps others as well.  I came to get help for me.  To my surprise, we began to help others.
