I recently completed rehab for sex and love addiction and I'm having a tough time reconstructing my life here in my home town. I lost a lot of friends due to my addiction and that's been quite the struggle. Its hard when you try and make amends to those you have hurt and they want nothing to do with you anymore. You want to be able to prove to them you have changed, but you can't. You've lied too many times and this time just won't cut it.

I've been spending my time with friends from…

I have taken a hiatus if you will say from this site for a while.  I have stopped  in  every once in a while just to get a dose of im not alone in the fight.  Really having a bad afternoon.  My emotions are on high school is done and i should be doing something with my self and not sitting idle.  I was fine this am but as the eve has rose im slipping farther and farther away from my duties as wife and glue.  Not really anyone i can turn to i have tried the spark people thing today but not…

Hello everyone,

A little nervous to write anything but I do need the help.

I have been a grateful member of Al-anon for nearly 2 years now, and just discovered that I am an addict myself. I have a love and relationship addiction and its destroying my life.

I live in Calgary, Alberta and have no idea what to do... we have no SLAA meetings here, I hope to start one.

I have been in recovery for 3 days now, this has been one of the most difficult things for me to…

Grateful that I wound up chairing tonight's e-meeting.  :)

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself because I just joined SLAA...  It is my first time here so I am a bit

apprehensive about talking about sexual matters.  I guess it's a family trait because sex was always so "dirty", shameful and never discussed in my family.  I had to find out on my own what it was all about.

I have a lot of shameful regrets relating to sexual matters and I do feel quite alone in the way I feel.   I

I grew up in a Korean household…

Making the decision not to spend Thanksgiving with any of the family and go to a Bed and Breakfast was the best choice we could make!

such usual days...collage,family,friends,collage again.i feel stress everywhere.i do my best to deal with it in a healthy way without resorting to compulsive actions,without drowning into fantasy or masturbation.but when it gets to "memory rush" it become much more diffecult to stay sober.

i have lost many of those i really felt safe with,family members who died,friends who just walk away carelessly.but my memory about my dad,his life and his death is very overwhelming,very…

Yesterday was my one month sober in the program. I celebrated with my best friend who has always been there for me. He had a friend over from a previous hometown, and we got along well. My best friend went to sleep after the movie, and I stayed up with the friend of a friend. Let's just say I made a very poor decision and am now living with that consequence.

I considered myself fortunate that my rock bottom wasn't as steep as many others I've heard in the program. I counted…

I ended slipping yesterday.

I see  conflicting beliefs and behaviors in me when it comes to sex and love.  The recreational  sex personality in me  wants to live the lifestyle of working on weekdays and “partying” on the weekend,  which as a SLA to me means lots of sex and the “search for love”. And for a long time I  would keep slipping on Sunday, even if I managed to white-knuckle through the week, on Sunday evenings I would be very depressed and feel like my life was…

While I briefly browse YouTube videos of ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead, research upon the Légion étrangère (French Foreign Legion, abbr. FFL) for an upcoming campaign thread, and trying to better my life, I had remembered that since this morning I woke up: I had sexgraines all day.

I acquired a new job on a specific…
