Hi, my name is D----, and I am in group because I am the partner of a sex addict and sexual anorexic, and I am healing from co-sex addiction, codependency, low self esteem, and overeating.

I feel focused on recovery today.

This week for recovery work I have been working on "becoming entirely ready" in Step Six. I am still working on releasing different character defects to God. Meanwhile I can share Exercise 86 or 87 or both, time permitting.

My acting out this week has been in the form of raging at the two middle boys. As a consequence, I scrubbed their bathroom for them.

Acting in...I'm really unsure about whether I was overeating. I've been exercising a lot, so I think it is hunger, but I'm not sure. I've also been engaging in fantasy again and escapism. The rubberband is in use for this.

This week I felt hopeful after listening to a broadcast on a Christian radio station. I felt this way as a child when there was snow in the forecast and we would be hoping for a snow day.

My five commandments this week:
morning prayer has been good
reading recovery material has been very good
phone calls - two this week - one received, one placed
attending group - yes
evening prayer has been okay, I missed three nights

For spiritual self care this week, I went to Mass.

For self care, I exercised four days this week.

What I like about myself today is that I got brutally honest this week with some issues that were weighing on me, and tried to remind myself that God loves me anyway.
