”I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” G. K. Chesterton

I am thankful every time I attend a meeting…maybe not always at the start as I can be reluctant to go, but by the end of every meeting I have heard something that has struck a chord. I know that discovering SAA, the fellowship, my groups and its members have saved my life. I am grateful to the program of recovery that has given me a second chance. The greatest gift I have about living in recovery is that I still have my life to experience. I am able to see that in the height of my addiction I was only barely alive, it was a meager existence. I lived only to serve the needs of my compulsive behaviours. I buried all emotion to remain a slave to the master of my inner circle. Each day of recovery I break the chains that bind me to my former life. I can feel again, I can smile, I can be present in the moment, I have hope. All thanks to the men and women, who like me, have a desire to overcome their addictive sexual behaviour. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Affirmation I will find time to show my thanks to the program that has allowed me a second chance at life.
