Just checking in...

...I seem to go on little spurts of writing here and then get away from it for awhile. It's like my mind is telling me to only delve into subjects here that are introspective and related to my sexual addiction. But I woke up this morning and said just putting occasional brief posts here of positive news or feelings is also related to my sexual addiction. I don't want my blog to be like some Tom Cruise movie where all of a sudden you wonder what happened to make him a nice guy. I want it to be a daily or constant view into me, my emotions, my thoughts and my life. Good, bad, whatever it is.

In that vein, I was very excited yesterday as I received my 60 day coin for Sexual Sobriety at my SAA meeting. That is great news. It tells me that I am making very positive steps towards my sobriety. I've also started a 130 day program with my therapist. It is a workbook course that Patrick Carnes put together. There are daily mediations which I must reflect and write about. There is also a daily Core Dialogue Queries inwhich I have a conversation with my addict. Again, I must write down this conversation. There are also daily scorecards I must fill out. That makes me motivated. I can relate to keeping score. I love to have charts to fill out and keep track of progress. So today I am feeling good about my sobriety. I'm heading off to Seattle with my wife to visit our niece and her family. It is going to be a great weekend.
