Sex is never perfect

Keep It Simple

Sex, like all else between human beings, is never prefect. --- Theodore Isaac Rubin

Addiction made our sex lives a mess. Maybe we wanted prefect sex or we wanted no sex.

We were afraid. Maybe we wanted a high from sex we just couldn't seem to get it. Some of us had lots of sex partners; some of us had none. What now?

We're doing what we need to do by being in recovery. We're getting to know ourselves. We're living by our real values. We’re being honest with ourselves and others. We're learning to love and care about others. It's open, honest caring we express with our bodies. Thus, sex can be trusting and safe.

Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, I turn over my sex life and my will to You---Just for today. I know You want me to be happy.

Action for the Day: What do I believe about sex?  How does it match with what's said in the third paragraph above?

Communication is important.  That is why it is best not to get into a new relationship until you have a year in recovery.  It is so important to build a relationship with your Higher Power and you.  Get to know your wants and needs.  How can I express my needs if I don't know what they are.  This disease affects our body, mind, and spirit.

Many want to talk about it. Many do not. Many have issues around the topic, many have many issues that they have to take outside of the fellowship.

Recovery is about doing what ever it takes to recover, to become complete and whole within ourselves, no longer needy and looking and hoping someone else will fill our needs.
