לפני שנה, התמלאתי פחד כשנכנסתי לראשונה לפגישת זום מעורבת. הייתה לי שאלה- כיצד אשאר מפוכחת בסביבת גברים? מה שחיזק אותי מההתחלה היה הדרך שבה החברים הוסיפו את תאריכי הנקיות שלהם כשהציגו את עצמם. אבל לא הייתה לי כל אפשרות אחרת- הייתי חייבת להתגבר על הפחדים ולהמשיך לבוא על מנת ללמוד איך להישאר ולהעמיק את ההחלמה שלי, דבר שכן עשיתי. המשכתי להגיע למפגשים מ…

Als ich zum ersten Mal zu AS kam und von gemischten Meetings (mit Männern und Frauen) hörte, dachte ich, wenn alle das gleiche Gehirn haben wie ich, wird es eine ziemliche Party! Als Frau hatte ich Angst vor jeglicher Interaktion mit Männern, weil ich nur an Sex dachte. Ich ging zu Frauen-Meetings und dachte, ein Sexsüchtiger, der mit dem anderen G…

Ich bin seit 2010 im Programm. Ich darf seit 13 Jahren nüchtern sein und bin dankbar, dass ich gebeten wurde, einen Artikel über Männer und Frauen in der Gemeinschaft zu schreiben. Das erinnert mich natürlich daran, woher ich komme. Eine erste Begegnung mit Frauen in AS war für mich eine absolute Bedrohung. Ich war voller Fantasien, Vorstellungen u…

Vor einem Jahr fühlte ich mich ängstlich, als ich mein erstes Zoom-Meeting betrat, weil es gemischt war. Ich hatte eine Frage: Wie kann ich unter Männern trocken bleiben? Was mich von Anfang an beruhigte, war die Art und Weise, wie die Teilnehmer ihr Trockenheitsdatum mitteilten, als sie sich vorstellten. Aber ich hatte keine andere Wahl - ich muss…

Questo, naturalmente, mi fa ricordare da dove vengo. Il primo incontro con le donne in SA è stato una minaccia assoluta per me. Ero pieno di fantasie, immaginazioni e d…
