obormottel OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1440 Karma: 6	Mazel tov! That's longer than a lot of people, and look, SA had something to do with it. Doesn't it logically follow that if anyone else wants to not have sex with self or with anyone other than one's spouse, the surefire way there is through SA?

Congrats Mottel!

But I got problems with the logic. If there is a certain disease, and only one medicine seems to work, then I would agree that the surefire way is through that medicine. But aren't there people in the GYE community who manage to stay sober for years without SA?
