Sex - Aug 24th

“Civilized people cannot fully satisfy their sexual instinct without love”
~ Bertrand Russell

A.A. Thought for the Day

"When we saw our faults, we listed them. We placed them before us in black and white. We admitted our wrongs honestly and we were willing to set these matters straight. We reviewed our fears thoroughly. We asked God to remove our fears and we commenced to outgrow fear. Many of us needed an overhauling in regard to sex. We came to believe that sex powers were God-given and therefore good, if used properly. Sex is never to be used lightly or selfishly, nor is it to be despised or loathed. If sex is troublesome, we throw ourselves the harder into helping others, and so take our minds off ourselves." Am I facing my sex problems in the proper way?

If we are to make progress in improving our physical, emotional and spiritual selves then we will have to review our attitudes towards sex. If the topic of sex triggers any negative feelings - shame, guilt, fear, anger - then change is necessary. AA gives us the tools we need to make those changes.
