The only way I can ever get rid of shame is to become the kind of person who can no longer conduct that shameful act.
Have you ever wondered how to approach the tricky topic of sex in the context of recovery? This episode of Sober Cast dives into the 'Sex Inventory' section of AA's Big Book, providing a thorough yet candid exploration. The speaker, admittedly an older gentleman with views from a bygone era, walks listeners through the sex inventory questions as laid out in the Big Book. While his perspective may seem dated, the core principles he discusses remain relevant.
The episode starts by addressing the resentment inventory, emphasizing the importance of listing out both direct and indirect issues to truly clean up one's life. The speaker then transitions into discussing how men often learn about women from other men, highlighting the pitfalls that can come with this. He stresses the need for creating a sane and sound ideal for our future sex lives, treating sex like any other problem that needs solving.
Making amends for past wrongs and seeking guidance through prayer are also key points he touches on. The conversation wraps up with the idea that to overcome shame, one must become a person incapable of repeating shameful acts. If you're looking for practical advice and a deep dive into the sex inventory process, this episode is worth your time.
