ESSAY October 2022 - Absolute Honesty With Myself, My Sponsor, and My Higher Power - Jack B., Davao City, The Philippines

My job is to take care of a large property with an orchard, a garden, and a house. A few weeks ago, I found myself in a completely new situation I have never been in before. People with whom I live and work went on their summer vacation for two months. I have been left alone, since then I hardly meet anyone in person. The crucial issue is that I have full access to the internet. I can watch what I want and no one would know. For a sex addict like me who in his SA career had many relapses, it would be a perfect situation to lose himself in the addiction completely.  However, thanks to God it's already been six weeks living alone and I am still sober. The day I'm writing down this article is six months of my sobriety. After sharing about my situation at the SA zoom meeting, one friend of mine asked me to write down what really helps me to survive. So, I gathered the tools together in six points.
