Amazing book....

It is amazing after several years this book is going strong. I have been able to speak at colleges and help people understand the power of this addiction and how it truly effects your life and relationships!

ExcerpTs aBout GoD.....

For many years I struggled with a higher power. Inside I knew something was out there but what, I wondered? If there is a one true creator, how do I reach him, I thought.
Even though you may not believe in God, you have to ask yourself this one vital question,
"how is life working for me"?

Is it? Is it working for you the way it is? Has it turned out the way you've always wanted? Do you consider yourself a success, happy or content! What defines these 3 for you?

What can God do?

Can he make my life all better? Can he take away all the pain? Can he change the future and correct the things in my past? Can he help create a different way for me to look at things? Can he help me confront the struggles that lie ahead?

If you have ever thought about these questions, let me be the first to tell you, it's up to you. Nobody, can make you change unless you truly want that for your life!

My next question would be, "what do you have to lose"? If your life stinks now, would it stink more with God?

He says this "taste and see how good I am".

Triggers & Boundaries

What are triggers?

Triggers are things that rise up in our lives that put us on the edge of acting out. These things might be stress, anxiety, work or relationships. When these things in our life begin to go South, we can expect a trigger to flair up. Sometimes triggers are memories of the past or an old neighborhood stomping ground, maybe the way the sky looks on a certain day, maybe something someone says. When triggers start to flair it is important for us to have an escape plan in place to counter these.

What are boundaries?

Boundaries are items in our lives that keep us from acting out sexually. Like a fence that protects a piece of property, boundaries that we intentionally put in place keep us from losing our sexual sobriety.

What kinds of boundaries do you have?

My certain boundaries are:

> Keeping filters on the internet or password protecting and knowingly having people around when I am on the internet.

> Not sitting behind a computer unless someone is around, or not being on the Internet in an isolated place.

> Walking past sexually charged magazines.

> If I am pushing my boundaries, asking myself "whats up or whats going on in my life" that is causing me to push the boundaries.

The hope is to continually stay sexually sober.
