My name is D---- and I'm in group because I am a partner of a sex addict and sexual anorexic, and I am healing from co-sex addiction, codependency, low self-esteem, and over-eating.
I feel set back in my recovery today. It has been a very stressful week with my son's surgery, therefore I haven't been working in my book, and I must say I have really missed it.
This week for recovery work I worked on Exercise #87 and you can read that in my Beyond Love blog if you want.
My acting out this week came in the form of being controlling towards my husband by telling him where to park, how to drive, which lane to be in
Acting in was different this week. I didn't go for the usual hit of sugar and carbs that I normally do. Instead I went shopping...retail therapy, as I heard Jenny call it. I think I may have been doing some avoiding as well. No consequences again.
This week I felt like I was being cattle-prodded all week long. I remember feeling like this as an adolescent, taking final exams. High stress, and very little time before the next stressor was on the horizon.
My five commandments this week took a beating. My prayers were unorganized, desperate pleas to God to let everything be alright with my son. Morning and evening prayers the way I enjoy them only happened twice this week, yesterday and the day before. Reading recovery material didn't really happen either. I did make two or three recovery calls though. And I had a telephone session with Kim.
My spiritual self care this week was reading a book by Wayne Jacobsen, He Loves Me.
My self care this week was nonexistent.
What I like about myself today is I met a deadline for a project that needed attention.
