Tools of Recovery
From S.L.A.A.'s experience, those who are recovering from sex and love addiction suggest that you:
- If you don’t know where to start, read through our Newcomers page.
- Define your bottom line behavior (those activities from which we must refrain in order to attain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wholeness).
- DON’T ACT OUT (i.e., acting out pain, shame, anger, etc. sexually/romantically, etc.; rather than talking it out) – just for today, this hour, this moment – no matter what! – IT WILL PASS.
- Ask for help on a daily basis.
- Set aside a time of prayer each morning and ask “Help me to stay away from ________ for today.”
- Set aside a time of thanks each night and express gratitude for the help received by saying “Thank you.”
- Attend S.L.A.A. meetings regularly.
- Get names and phone numbers of sober S.L.A.A. members; call them.
- Call the daily Inspiration Line and/or the weekly Inspiration Story Line
- Read S.L.A.A. literature.
- Join a group.
- Get active in your group and in your local Intergroup.
- Keep a personal journal.
- Get a sponsor or talk to an S.L.A.A. person on a daily basis for your withdrawal period.
