Hi everyone,
I am grateful to have recently joined SA!
Does anyone know of any Engliah zoom meeting for/popular amongst frum people?
I have the internatonal SA  Zoom meetings lust, however, in addition I would like to also commect with other Achim.
Thanks a lot!

I'm curious to hear about your experience in SA. My therapist doesn't think I need to go to SA as he doesn't think my addiction is so severe compared to the kinds of situations people are usually facing in SA... but the longer this goes on, the more and more open to it I become. I'm a bit nervous about joining, so curious to hear about your experience in it if you're open to sharing (anonymously) any details about the experience, either in this thread or via DM.

Thank you!

IMU There is only one criteria for joining SA
'Having the problem that is best solved there'
It doesn't matter if your 'problem' is that you fantasize and masturbate 'only once a week'   or you are sleeping with prostitutes every night. 
If you are shattered about your problem and have tried everything under the sun to no avail, and are prepared to agree you may be an addict, we'd love you to join us!

I'm holding in the once every week or two range at the moment, and I've been wanting to stop for almost four years now... I've done lots of journaling, reflection, therapy, etc. but obviously still struggling... so maybe I do qualify. And yes, I've realized I'm an addict at this point.

From the SA White Book: "the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop lusting amd become sexually sober"
