ESSAY June 2024 - God Walks Her Through Storms - Your ESSAY reporter
Manage episode 423664736 series 3349823
There’s a saying, “Recovery is peace and serenity in the midst of the storm.” And Priscilla has known many storms. Today, after more than 30 years of sexual sobriety, she has tools to stay the course during storms.
Priscilla C., from Nashville, Tennessee, has been sober since February 7, 1993. She was sent to Sexaholics Anonymous by her therapist. “My forms of acting out were predominantly with married or emotionally-unavailable men. I’d had a series of relationships with people I worked with, and every time, I said I’d never do it again. I made sure it’d only be with someone out of state, but, of course, that was just part of my rationalization. I had an affair with a guy that I only saw twice a year, but we talked a lot on the phone. One time we agreed to meet in another state, but when we did, he seemed very distant. The next day he said he didn’t want to see me again—that he didn’t want the affair and that I forced him into it.
