can we please offer some assistance with the moderation team?
It seems like there’s a lot of alcohol related posts coming through and I’m sure it’s like guacamole. WHACKAMOLE is what I actually said the guacamole is funny too.
I’m sure there’s a bunch of folks we’d love to help regularly. Thanks.
Lots of funny titles these days! What else you got?

Hey friends, im interested in your insights on a particular topic. Im a recovering sex addict and i’ve been part of my current SAA group for 16 years.
SAA is a 12-step group, like AA. we gather weekly and run through some weekly readings from a fixed script, some time for sharing and maybe read some from our Green Book.
My meeting’s script was changed last year. The person making the changes didn’t consult the group, and i thought “i dont love this new script but i’ll let it ride and see how it works.”
Here is my challenge: the new script focuses on altering compulsive and unhelpful behaviour, and has removed all mentions of obsessive thought patterns.
For me, i think major hurdles in finding good recovery included addressing resentment, anger and feelings of entitlement. These were thought processes more than behaviours.
I’ve raised this with my group and i want to move forward slowly. How do you view your recovery around these two factors?
Im looking for your opinions and experience addressing both aspects of recovery:
Changing addictive behaviours and
managing obsessive and unhelpful thought processes.
behaviours and thoughts.
much obliged, piper
