- Hi all...I think I need some advice on confronting my h. How do you bring up a concern/suspicion without sounding like you're accusing him of relapse? Things have been going well with us... I've been feeling safe. Feeling like we can live our...
- Just wanted to share that I peed standing up today for the first time ever. I couldn't really imagine how those things would work without being messy, but it totally did! I'm laughing at how easy it was and wondering what took me so long to try...
- I have some friends (a couple) that recently divorced due to his addiction to baseball games and baseball cards! Even though it seems like a benign hobby compared to porn, I can relate to her feelings...losing her husband to an addiction and the...
- Last week I made plans to go out of town for the weekend by myself. I am a total introvert and work at a full-time demanding job with lots of interaction with clients and coworkers. I'm also a busy mom and wife. So I occasionally need to make...
- ...but wanted to share this definition of wisdom I recently came across with all the spouses here. It's been helping me define and focus on what I want for myself. It's been useful to me at work and elsewhere. Wisdom is: "...a clear-eyed view of...
- Okay this topic is a bit wacky, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this or had these thoughts. Several years ago I went to a past life regression evening. I had no expectations at all that I would glimpse a past life, in fact I...
- Most of the time I feel very content to be me. I put on binders and packers and feel happy to feel like a man, and i take them off and feel happy to be born a woman. But sometimes, the intensity of my feelings as a man is so staggering... it's so...
- What are your earliest memories of knowing? One memory for me that stands out is going clothes shopping when I was about 4 or 5. Running for the boys department. Looking at all the cool clothes I wanted and my mom explaining why I had to go to...
- Feeling out of sorts tonight. We haven't tried marriage counseling in almost 6 months, because he isn't in recovery, doesn't think he has a problem and so the last time was a total waste of time. But we've recently started talking again about...
- I saw an ad for a conference on healing from sex addiction (not going, not my type of thing), but one of the headliners is "find out why nice guys are more susceptible". Thoughts? Any truth to that or not?
- I finally called and asked someone to be my sponsor. Not sure why it took me so long. I think it was a bit of a humility issue for me. It takes humility to walk through the door of the s-anon meeting, which I overcame pretty quickly after, but it...
- I've been taking some comfort in christmas music this season. My son and I have been mixing disks for christmas gifts. Listen to the words of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen... takes on a new meaning in light of SA. Jars of Clay have a decent version...

- Does being married elevate the danger and excitement for an addict when they act out? This question come up recently on the spouses board. It seems like SAs crave a feeling of "getting away with it". Being in a committed relationship gives them...
- I know we've had previous threads on this topic, but I would love to hear everyone's latest. The questions are: How do you stay balanced, connected and whole? What are the moments in your life in which you feel grounded? We all have moments of...
