”Here is my secret. It is very simple: it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes. Antoine de Saint-Exupery

We all want to be able to see what the right thing to do is, the right words to say, the right actions to take, the right decisions to make. In our addiction, we lived under the insanity that continuing to feed our addictive behaviour, no matter the cost or consequence, was the best thing to do for our continued survival. Once we began to gain some freedom from the stranglehold of our disease in working our program, we gain the ability in sobriety to see with our hearts and make decisions based on something other than our sexual addiction. It can be challenging, frustrating and daunting trying to make real decisions knowing that our lives have been controlled and managed by our disease for so long. With faith in our Higher Power and support from our friends in the program, we can relearn how to trust in our instincts to do the right thing and maintain our new found sanity in sobriety.

Affirmation Today I will listen to my heart and let my Higher Power guide me in the decisions I make.
