See with your eyes - Feel with your heart - THIS IS NOT CORNY

I, a recovering sex addict, ask you to ask yourself,

"What do I feel, seeing these words?"

Now, what?

Up t' you.

Can you say...

Here's what you can say on your first step to recovery: "I'll go first."

poem, followed by a question

TOO

Too loud
Too fat
Too sensitive
Too emotional
Too much energy
Too crazy
Too naive
Too embarrassing
Too visceral
Too out there
Too weird

Too much

I eat too fast
I drink too much
I eat too much
I cry too much
I care too much
I take too much room
I need too much attention
My cloths are too loud
My hair color too bold
I walk too loud
I sleep too loud
I clap too hard
I yell too loud
I drive too fast
I take too many risks
I sing too loud
I feel too much
I am too much out of control

Too much

I am loving too
And very compassionate too
I am loyal too
I am talented too
I am smart too
I am funny too
I am a good listener too
I am a good parent too
I am a good friend and sister too
I am good at my job too

Too too

I am strong too
I am wise too
I am open too
I am curious too
I am tenacious too
I am disciplined too
I am fearless too
I am brave too

Too too

How are you?

"We acted out in many different ways."

Sample: checking in text message

Hi. I had a good day today - some challenges, but they were no match for love over lust (LOL). Worked Steps 1, 2, 3.

That says some of it...

Start where you are...

Remember to 

"Start where you are. 

Use what you have. 

Do what you can."

Please understand...
This is not a meeting attendee of SAA Montreal.

Meetings happen with/without you

Meetings happen no matter what. They just do. They happen without me and with me, whatever the "me" may be.
When I am there, I can hear and learn. When I'm not there, or worse - when I'm not at a meeting, and/or acting out, I'm "deaf," "dumb," and worse (ill), so.

Be.
Heard.
Come and listen.
Option: speak and be heard.

Try it, to see if this works for you.
