"Pletcher and Bartolameolli are undisputed experts on the subject of co-sex addiction.  They know more about it than anyone I know and have presented  an expose that with great clarity supersedes anything I have read before."

Freedom and Independence

Greetings from Africa,

Tomorrow is the 4th of July in our American tradition. I am thinking about freedom and independence related to addiction and dis-ease. At the moment, I am extraordinarily grateful for my personal healing and transformation in 12 step recovery. There is a great deal of energy used up to feed addictions:whether this is food, alcohol, sex, caretaking, and/or co-sex addiction. To continually 'give ourselves over' to the habit of whatever we use to fill our emptiness and avoid our pain requires consistent attention and action.

Learning to hold our own energy as sacred, allowing ourselves to have authentic grief, anger and fear and filling our emptiness within with spiritual resources including self love and compassion is great freedom, really. We are left with our connection to Spiritual source and the ability to use our energy, attention and focus to share our gifts and be of service to others.

This is real freedom. Today I am grateful for the courage of all who have faced addiction, dis-ease, our own pain with authentic reality and care. Thank you for the inspiration that you provide me.

In service of the Sacred,

Sally
