I’ve been really beating myself up and shaming myself. A fellow addict shared about his struggles with hooking up and masturbation in his early recovery and was celibate for 6 months. He said in those 6 months he felt the strongest connection he ever felt with his higher power. He also shared that even while clean se.x brought him to some very scary and dangerous moments and severely jeopardized his recovery. I could relate to this and he gave me hope. He help relieve some of the shame I’ve been punishing myself with and really gave me a sense of being seen and heard

Thank you so much for sharing Billy! Yea I’ve heard two schools of thought. “ as long as it’s not dope” and also “ anything can be dope” unfortunately the latter is proving true for me and my recovery but honestly talking about it in meetings and on this platform is proving to be way more healing than I expected. My biggest kryptonite is shame and if I don’t talk about it the shame takes over everything!
