REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Broken relationships, or painfully unhappy ones, seem to be a common problem with people - one that causes immeasurable pain. Satisfactory sexual relationships are a need shared by many. Sex itself is something which does not get talked about much at our meetings, but relationships certainly do. Good relationships have a lot to do with good sex. When we communicate our feelings, we open ourselves to good relationships, which may be sexual relationships as well. In Step Four we sweep out all our trash, and then we get rid of it in Step Five. That leaves our hearts and souls clean and open to lasting relationships, and, in turn, to healthy and satisfying sex.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Help me to verbally communicate my feelings to the person I care about most.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
If I want to improve my sex life, I will be vulnerable

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Sex is a topic which is not often talked about with sincerity and honesty. Those of us who have come to EA often find as part of our recovery a need to deal with some unhealthy attitudes about sex. Many people's attitudes about sex seem to go from one extreme to the other - either it is dirty, or it is an obsession. Sharing our sexual struggles may lead to healthier outlooks.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
God, when I am unable to share with the group, may I have the courage to confide in a trustworthy member or a Fifth-Step person. That can be a beginning.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
As I continue to face myself, I continue to become more whole.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
There is little that can bring more happiness or heartache than sex. Sex is part of my being which I am continually learning about. At times I have approached it by rushing in irresponsibly. At times I have tried to run away from it. Today I am learning a better balance. The Twelve Steps are teaching me to be diligently honest, and this seems to be the sex to sexual harmony. I am learning to ask if the needs of my partner are as important as my own. I am finding there are periods where celibacy is actually a positive step in my growth. As I place my sex life in the hands of my Higher Power, I come to know a growing contentment.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Guide me, Friend of my Highest Understanding, to keep sex beautiful.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I will express my sexuality with love.
