I am sex addict. I have to continue to remind myself that I am always in recovery. Had a major acting out a month ago, lost my fiancé and just taking one day at a time. That’s all I can do. Just remind myself so I don’t stop working

I acted out last night after getting drunk. I hadn't done that in such a long time. I don't even have an orgasm when I do this. I don't even know why I did this

Yes lots of resources. Try the SAA website there is lots of literature and meetings online you can attend. Go to them online, find a sponsor, connect with people in the group and have them support you in the recovery. I’ve done white knuckle too many times and it never works.

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

Each day is a sense of accomplishment and a win over the pull of my own thoughts. Forcing my willpower into further restraint. 10 days strong so far.
