There are many, many promises of the Sex Addicts Anonymous program, the most important of which is that we have found a spiritual solution to the problem of sexual addiction that will work for you too! Men and women from all over the world are finding recovery from sexual addiction through working this program.
The promises below are from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, which gives detailed instructions for working the 12 step recovery program. The “phase” referred to is the phase we enter as we work the ninth step. There are many other promises that we’ve experienced along the way – We urge you to work the steps with honesty and open mindedness so that you can experience them too!
“If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
“Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.”
