Hello again!

How did the meeting go? It's strange that talking about sexual addictions at those meetings is so rare... SLAA was created because it's such a huge problem for so many people! I hope you can find at least one other person to connect with, someone who can support you and help you get through the times when you want to give in.

Please, please, PLEASE, at the very least, look into getting on birth control and using condoms when you're seeing these various sexual partners. You may have difficulty controlling the urge to give in, but you can take precautionary measures to ensure you don't end up pregnant and/or sick from a sexually transmitted infection. Perhaps you could go to your doctor to get set up for birth control, and while you're there, you could ask for resources/referrals to help with the sexual addiction. It may be embarrassing to tell a virtual stranger about what's going on, but doctors aren't there to judge. They are there to help.
