Sponsorship is a Gift

Betrayal TraumaBy rueadamSeptember 18, 20181 Comment

When I first walked into an SAL 12 Step meeting, I heard a host of words and terminology that were Greek to me.  Among the most foreign concepts I heard amounted to the following: “I called my sponsor to surrender…” I came home from group those first few weeks and told my husband that I…

For men in addiction, Unwanted Sexual BehaviorBy rueadamSeptember 17, 20186 Comments

In our last post about doing daily step work, we got a few questions about how to work the 12 Steps one day at a time. Before we share our experience, what’s been your’s? How do you work the 12 Steps on a daily basis? What does “working the 12 Steps” mean to you? As…

8 Reasons Why I Should Brush My Teeth (and Work the Steps) Every Day

For men in addiction, Unwanted Sexual BehaviorBy rueadamSeptember 10, 20186 Comments

Why do I brush my teeth every day? Even two times a day? Is it because I feel pressured by my peers or parents or spouse? Is it because it’s the “right thing to do?” Is it to fit in or be liked or accepted? The truth is, it may be for all those reasons…

Summer Apologies & Conference Save the Date

Betrayal TraumaBy rueadamJuly 24, 20182 Comments

My life this summer has been unmanageable!  I apologize for taking a break from the blog. There is no big problem going on, just 5 kids home on summer vacation and an…

Secure Attachment, Empathy and Boundaries in Sexual Addiction

Betrayal Trauma, SupportBy rueadamJune 11, 20182 Comments

Boundaries are one of the buzz words of sexual addiction recovery and therapy.  And there is a good reason for that…it’s because if you don’t have boundaries in place, no matter how much therapy you pay for, how many 12 Step meetings you go to, how often you call your sponsor…you are never going to…
