Chapter One Understanding Sex Addiction
ОглавлениеBlessings to the seekers of healing in the name of God the Most Merciful and the Most Compassionate! As you begin this adventure, we pray that you find a path leading toward freedom, a journey filled with peace and serenity. We know from experience, however, that it will also include pain, tears, and grief. Prepare yourself as if you were taking a trip into an unknown territory. Keep your heart open and your eyes looking up to the heavens. Know, without doubt, that you do not travel this journey alone. God is with you and you will find love, forgiveness, acceptance, and guidance on your recovery journey. Within yourself you will find joy for the spirit and health for the body. Renew connection with your soul and rest from the difficulties.
Why should I seek? I am the same as he.
His essence speaks through me.
I have been looking for myself!

May you find the peace for which your soul is searching.
