Book Sales

My first print run of 100 copies sold out, but I have had a second printing of an additional 250 copies done this year. So more are available, now at a cost of $20 CAD. My second book, Twelve Steps for Everyday Living, is now available for purchase for $15 CAD. It is my attempt, based on my experience and those who've been a part of my recovery journey, to transform the 12 Steps into a tool for anyone to use to navigate the challenges and trials of life.

In Serenity,

Review it? Do you have a copy and enjoy what you have read? Can you help me promote it by leaving a good review at Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21939460-lean-on-me)? Thanks for your support.

In other news, after a long debate and some peer pressure, I have started a second blog, along the same vein as Lean on Me, but in my second language. You can check it out here - Tomber dans l'appui.

February 12


”Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.”
Mary Sarton
Most sex addicts struggle with the idea of being alone. We have come to believe that without someone else in our life, someone who meets our needs, that we are not whole, not complete. It is challenging to come to terms with the concept that we must learn to be comfortable in our own skin, to be happy with ourselves by ourselves. It is not a prospect that many of us relish.
One of the keys in progressing to this stage of transforming loneliness into solitude is the faith and understanding that our Higher Power is with us and will take care of our needs. Putting our trust in the God of our understanding removes the burden of ever having to be truly alone. We can instead be accompanied by our Higher Power and in those moments truly focus on strengthening our spiritual connection.
Like many things we have come to discover in our journey to recovery, our ability to be comfortable with ourselves, alone and tranquil, is something that we have forgotten along the way. We don’t have to learn it brand new, we simply need to find out how to reintegrate it into our positive behaviours to help in restoring our sanity.
Affirmation
I can be alone with the knowledge that my Higher Power is holding my hand.
