Chastity Office 270

On my 35th AA birthday, last Tuesday, my wife offered me a hug, the first in 14 months.

She gave me another hug last night.

It is interesting to me that, both times, we wanted our son to see us.

It is important to both of us to model “getting along  together“ to our son. 

That is unselfish…and I sure God approves.

My Chastity outer circle:

Work out a lot…worked out every day for 2 1/2 weeks…makes Chastity manageable, according to SLAA.

Work hard on the food…three freshly cut, 8 oz, green drinks every day…makes Chastity easier, according to Gandhi

Breath prayer…Pray without ceasing

In the last 432 days of Chastity I have not had to add any new names to my 8th step list of names of people I have hurt.

In the last 432 days of Chastity I have not had to add any new “spurned women”  to the list of women who I have left. That’s a “Hell” I can do without…

For 20 years I didn’t talk in AA because it was unsafe to talk about what was really going on with me, which was sex addiction recovery.

Now though, with Chastity, they seem a lot more appealing, spiritually.

AA is black is and white…No drinking, ever.

Chastity is that way, too.

Thank you God for letting me feel comfortable in AA again. It is a blessing.

When Hendrix died in 1970 John McLaughlin took over the mantle of the greatest living electric guitar player.

McLaughlin had a “guru” named Sri Chinmoy

to whom he gave a lot of credit.

Chinmoy was chaste and worked out extremely hard…

Chastity did not interest me when I was 17, but now that it does, I see the impeccable wisdom Chinmoy employed in his workout regime.

It took 51 years to see it…Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

My athletic hero is the 86 year old African American woman bodybuilder Ernestine Shepherd.

Her hero is Rocky.

Been watching all the Rocky and Creed movies recently.

I’ll do anything to make this Chastity business more comfortable…for as long as God wants me to do it, one day, three hours at a time.
