What do you think about SAA?
I have been going to SAA for about 7 months now, and have been working the steps, have a sponsor, and have about 12 weeks of sobriety. My addiction is and compulsive masturbation. All of these things are great, and I feel grateful, and yet I feel that the program doesn't quite suit me. I have a hard time because I go to a bunch of meetings, and I don't really tell to many people about it, because of the stigma ociated with addiction. So, I feel disconnected from the rest of the "real world." I feel depressed and hopeless, because I feel lonely and I don't think the program is helping all that much other than stay sober, but my social life is on the fritz cause all I do is go to these meetings. My sponsor wants me to keep going every day, but it's getting to me, and I don't feel like I'm getting anywhere at all. I need a church, a sangha, but going to SAA like this is making me feel really cut off from the rest of the world. Any suggestions?
