Jason's Journey: Overcoming Sex Addiction and Rebuilding Relationships with SLAA
I've had these moments of just, ah, this energy that you know I can feel when I'm in some of our bigger meetings, when you know we say the the serenity prayer at the end of the meeting, a hundred people saying that there's an energy there. There is an energy and a unity like a connection.
Sex addiction can wreak havoc on relationships, but Jason's story offers a beacon of hope. In this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast', Jason opens up about his battle with sex addiction and his path to recovery through Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA). He candidly discusses how the addiction strained his relationships and the transformative role SLAA played in his healing journey.
SLAA's 12-step program encourages members to identify behaviors in three categories: inner circle (healthiest), middle circle (warning signs), and outer circle (most destructive). Jason shares how this framework helped him navigate his addiction and prevent relapse. Despite the shame and stigma often associated with sex addiction, Jason found solace in larger SLAA meetings, where he felt a deep sense of connection and energy.
Spirituality also played a crucial role in his recovery, with Jason emphasizing the importance of finding a higher power and integrating spiritual practices like music into his life. This episode offers a raw and honest look at the challenges and triumphs of recovering from sex addiction. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Jason's story provides valuable insights and inspiration for finding hope and healing.
