Brandon S is a gratefully recovering member of Sexaholics Anonymous. His #1 addiction is lust, then sex, and pornography. Brandon admits complete powerlessness over lust, which is the driving force to my addiction. He also feels that he qualifies for all sex or lust related 12 Step fellowships. He has been in this amazing "design for living" (12-step program) since Oct 15, 2022 with a sobriety date of Feb 12, 2024. Brandon’s topic revolves around fears; how they contributed to his addiction, and how it had a massive impact on his unmanageable life.

Julian H found his "solution" in sex and porn as a youth. Living in years of shame and secrets, he kept his life as a double life - portraying himself as a good man around others, but living in fear and darkness alone. In September of 2019, his way of secret living was abolished when he was introduced to the 12 Steps by his loving Higher Power. Now, his life is forever changed as he has found a Real Solution and is committed to share this new way of life with others.  He speaks to us today on the phrase from the Big Book, "We Let God Discipline Us".
