ESSAY August 2022 - It works if you work it - Sherwin C., Philippines

This is one of the program slogans that stuck in my mind after I attended my first SA virtual meeting here in the Philippines. I was afraid and hesitant to attend an SA meeting because I was in denial and doubtful that I am a sex addict, but still forced myself to join that meeting as I was afraid to lose my wife and kids. I convinced myself that I needed help and maybe SA can offer something that I am looking for. That first SA meeting in February of 2021 was quite memorable to me. When I heard the sharing among the members, I immediately identified myself that I am, indeed, a sexaholic. It was also the first time that I heard that lust is the core of my sex addiction.
