Hi! My name is D----, and I am 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 great about my recovery today. I've done a lot of catching up work and am addressing some issues in my life, so this week is going well. I did more work on my letter to God this week and I will probably post that later today or tomorrow.


I haven't been acting out since I last posted, and I haven't been acting in either. It feels really good to say that!


This week I felt so productive. I started chipping away at the mess in the house, took pictures of three of the kids for our Christmas card, and read an entire book. I felt like this as a child sometimes when everything was "just so" in my life (clean room, laundry done, caught up in school, and caught up with friends).


My five commandments this week are in pretty good shape. I've prayed every morning and night with my husband, read recovery material, made calls, and attended group (this blog, plus my online group).

My self care this week was getting my hair cut and colored. It hasn't been done since late August/early September, right when the kids started school. Oh boy, was it time!

While I was sitting there for four hours, I read Doug Weiss' book Get a Grip, from beginning to end. That was my spiritual self care. Good read.

And what I like about myself this week is I am applying some more of the principles of recovery to my life and it's been very helpful.
