S.L.A.A. Greater Delaware Valley

From S.L.A.A.'s experience, those who are recovering from sex and love addiction suggest that you:

• Define your bottom line behavior (those activities from which we must refrain in order to attain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wholeness).
• DON'T ACT OUT (i.e., acting out pain, shame, anger, etc. sexually/romantically, etc.; rather than talking it out) - just for today, this hour, this moment - no matter what! - IT WILL PASS.
• Ask for help on a daily basis.
• Set aside a time of prayer each morning and ask "Help me to stay away from ________ for today."
• Set aside a time of thanks each night and express gratitude for the help received by saying "Thank you."
• Attend SLAA meetings regularly.
• Get names and phone numbers of sober SLAA members; call them.
• Read SLAA literature.
• Join a group.
• Get active in your group and in your local Intergroup.
• Keep a personal journal.
• Get a sponsor or talk to an SLAA person on a daily basis for your withdrawal period.
• Study the Twelve Steps.
