A Sex Addict's 12 Step Journey Begins

I'm Soul (or Anon, either works) and I'm a sex and porn addict, and I recently started my 12 steps and it has not been easy...

I'm currently on step 3 of 12 and it's proving to be a challenge. As a kid I lost my faith and felt as if God had abandoned me - and his silence left a would filled with bitterness, resentment and hatred.

A week ago, I had a promise fulfilled in what I can only explain as divine intervention. The more I tried to avoid my triggers - they started to find me no matter where I went, so I took it as a sign from God to get help.

My assessment is already booked, I have a sponsor and I plan to attend more SAA meetings.

I've been having to deal with a crisis on my own, it's been stressful and I'm hoping I'll get a chance to breathe.

I'm so proud of you for taking the step to work the steps. The third one was also a hard one for me because I also lost my faith in God as a young adult. But it's about finding something greater than yourself something to take the stress off. Some faith in anything really.
