Hi, 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 overeating.

I feel motivated in my recovery today. This week for recovery work I completed Exercises 89, 90, and 91 and you can read those if you want to.

Acting out...yes. I was trying to control my boys yesterday by shaming them. I did call and admit this to another group member shortly after it happened.

Acting in...yes. Some fantasy (not s*x, fantasizing about my life), and negative self talk. No overeating though! No consequences either :(

This week I felt really bad because I was doing the exercises regarding every detail of bad things that were done to me, and that I had done to anyone else. Step 5...not fun. First time I felt really bad was probably right after each of the things I remembered happened.

My five commandments this week are all in good shape. I missed morning prayer once and evening prayer once.

My spiritual self care this week has been listening to a book called "What's So Amazing About Grace" by Philip Yancey.

My self care this week was I dressed nice all week and I feel like I may have lost a pound or two.

What I like about myself today is my determination to get through these recovery books.
