Tonight I realized that while I have been posting fascinating articles recently about all sorts of topics, I have not remarked on my sobriety from love and sex addiction for quite some time. Today is day #525 of sobriety for me and while these past few weeks have been mentally and emotionally tough for me, I have not engaged in any acting out behavior. Starting next Friday I will have a great deal of free time on my hands and although I have been thinking about all of the tasks and activities I will engage in, I have only fleetingly thought of dating again. And when I say fleetingly, I mean that I am not seriously considering it. After all, I have never had a large amount of free time where I was not engaged in acting out in some way. In all honesty, I am looking forward to this opportunity to spend time with myself, engaging in activities I enjoy, and working on step work and other program-related activities.
As you can imagine, I am extremely proud of myself with how far I have come in my recovery from love and sex addiction. Although I have struggled with food, drug, and to some extent alcohol addiction, I think that love addiction has been the strongest addiction of my life. Before I began my recovery, I would never have believed anyone who told me that I would be where I am today----single, celibate, happy, free, and never looking back! 😊💪🙏
