[Music] Okay, today the 6th of September, 2023, we're very happy to have with us Dave T. from Oklahoma in the U.S. and some of you may know him by his nickname, The Stringman, in recovery since 23 November 1990. He will be sharing on the topic of planting seeds. So you're now on, you have 25 minutes and I'll give you that five-minute warning. Welcome Dave. Hey, thank you. Welcome to, I've seen lots of friends, lots of people that I know. We are one family and it's wonderful. I appreciate being able to share today and we won't be doing many stringy things, but we'll be talking. I love the fact that we read what is a sexaholic and then when people introduce themselves, they say, I'm Dave T. I'm a sexaholic. So, since November 23rd 1990, that's the solution. Anything past that is usually the problem. You know, and I'm happy and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, takes time when we want to be in the solution not in the ego. And I have a strong opinion that my principal forms of acting out is in the problem. I gave that away when I gave my step one and I don't need to go over that if what you read what is a sexaholic, it said it all. I do say during a meeting once a year, I try and say any individual thing that I've done, but every time I say that word, one of acting out words, a little bit of that lost chemical is being released in my body. I don't need any more of that lost chemical released. I read not long ago or heard on a podcast that we say the first one is on God. The next look is on me. But even the first look on God has a chemical released. And so, anything I can do to even keep away from that first look, I'm saving myself from indelibly putting those chemicals in my mind and definitely that they're in my nervous system and they're there forever. So I want to be in the solution and I am in the solution. I love it. I have been in the program for 32 years. I've been sober for 32 years. I don't know why. I don't know why I'm sober and somebody else isn't. I watch people who are working harder than I work and they're not sober and I am. I'm not more loved by God. I don't have any secrets. I don't have any special connection. It's a gift from God. And I know from experience that people who keep coming back eventually get sobriety. My father said, "You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can't count the apples in the seed." I want to talk about planting seeds. If I'm in the solution and sharing, I am in. I am planting seeds. If I get to a meeting early and to shake hands with people or say, "Hi, I'm planting seeds of friendship." If I get to a meeting on time without a couple of Starbucks and without going around and saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm late. Hi, so it's a hi, hi, hi, hi. If I get there on time, planting seeds showing how to work to program, if I get to a meeting and the seventh tradition comes up, oh, I just want Starbucks. I don't have any cash with me right now. I'm planting bad seeds. I'm planting a weed. Well, you might think that I'm kind of opinionated and if you do, you're absolutely right. I have strong, strong opinions about what makes a good program for me, and I share those things that make a good program for me. I want to put on a smile when I get up. I don't want to go into a video. I'm Dave, and I'm a alcoholic. I want to go in happy. When I had been in program four or about 25 years, then I discovered that I also have become an alcoholic. I went to my first meeting and I said, "I'm Dave and I'm an alcoholic." They said, "I'm worried it's a damn happy." I said, "Because I've gotten so much out of the 12-step world that I can't wait to see what else I'm going to learn." I believe that service and gratitude are the things that keep me going. Service, getting to meetings, making the coffee, giving my phone number, getting a phone number, and it had been the tradition of what on the newcomer we wait for them to call us. It's scary being a newcomer. It's really scary being a newcomer. I try and get their number, and I call them the next day and say, "Did we scare you away or do you have any questions or whatever?" I don't wait for them to call me. This is my white book. It's not very white anymore. My life was black and white. Now my life is technique color. I don't know if you can see all the colors. This book has been to almost 50 countries. It's been to thousands of readings. This goes to every meeting I go to. This is my protection. This is my active part of going to a meeting. Remembering to pick up my book, carrying it in. When we read our purpose, I open my book and I read along with it. I've read some of these things thousands of times when every once in a while. I hear an extra word in there, or I hear a different word, or it has a new meaning to me. If I just wait until the sheet, it is passed to me so I can read my reading, and there are some kind of, "I'm not being a part of the meeting." I want to be a part of the meeting. I want to connect with the meeting, and so I carry my book. I mark things. I turn pages down. I've got much in here of when I read something, or when I'm meeting read it, and where we left off. I also add little comments to things in the sign of the book. I can't stress it strongly enough to bring your book. If you're on Zoom, bring your book to the Zoom meeting. I go to one meeting that's a Zoom meeting, and the leaders always ask people in the room to read something. Why not ask the Zoom people to read something too? We're all part of the meeting. So, making connections, that's what I've been trying to do my whole life. I made all the wrong connections, looking for love in all the wrong places, and I'm finding love in the right places now. I'm finding love in such amazing ways that I never knew I could find it, and it doesn't have to do with best. That's optional. I was married. I've divorced at about 40 years ago. I have three children. I have six grandchildren, and I've been in sober. I've been single in recovery the total time. I am so complete whole, total. At one point, about 10 years ago, I get asked a woman to marry me. I called my friends. When I played cards together, we cooked together. We did a lot of things together. We'd done a few trips together. I just enjoyed her company. I called my sponsor and said, "Thank you, I'm asking her to marry me." He said, "What?" He knew how I was not really looking for marriage, and he said, "Well, that's good." I did. She thought about it, prayed about it, checked with her family, because she was going to move up to another state to be with her siblings and that, and I didn't want her to move. She said, "Thank you, but I think I need to move." I said, "I understand that. We are still friends. I didn't have to go well. I'm not going to be friends with you anymore." Our friendship has not changed. In fact, I took a trip last week up to northern United States. I stopped to see her spend a couple of days there and then drove her up to see her brother and dropped her off while I went on up to Fargo, North Dakota. I had a great time, but I'm also saying, "Thank you, God. Thank you, that we did not get married. I've seen the whole her, the total her, and I'm not ready for that kind of control. I'm not ready to share all that time on the phone and calling everybody in every relative, and they're all out of it." Anyway, God was looking out for me. Connections. As a sexaholic addicts, they captive hooks, merry hooks. We take captives. We take hold people hostage. They're mine. True love connects with people, but it's a loose connection. We talk about the lovers, not, I'm not sure that it's a knot. I think it's a very complex connection. Most of the strength things I do are unknots. They're wonderful creations, but when you pull, they don't turn into a snarled knot. You pull the right strings and then they come apart. I did a workshop in Nebraska two weeks ago, and boy, they took care of me. The theme of it was, "Sure." An attitude changed. We had a change of attitude, and I really liked that concept. I didn't just change my mind and decide to do it this way or that way. If somebody's got an attitude, you know they've got an attitude. Maybe they got an anger attitude, or maybe they've got a, "Wow, the puppy dog, everything's great." You can feel an attitude. You can see an attitude. The change of attitude means that I'm changed from being a slave to being a media, to being a whole person. I'm not, we talk about an attitude of gratitude. Not just, "Well, I do my gratitude list every week or once a week or every day or whatever." An attitude means anything that happens. I can say, "Wow, thanks for that." Or, "Well, I'm sure I'll find the good in it sometime." Or, "Yes, thank you." So, I mean the actions, the movement, our program is not called, "Well, chapters." It's called, "Well, step." And we work the steps. We don't read the steps. We do write about the steps, but we work the steps. That means doing something active. Step one, I worked it by driving to a meeting. The first time I came, I drove to the meeting. That must have said I was powerless, that I needed help. I worked step two by, I guess, I read about this program that said there were people just like me, I want to be just like them. Maybe there is a power greater than me. Sylvia was at that meeting. She had eight years of sobriety, but she was married and she was a woman. I mean, you know, there was an old man that her machine was married, and he had five years of sobriety, but he was old. Come on. There was a young man with eight weeks of sobriety, eight weeks of sobriety, eight weeks. I couldn't go three days. He had eight weeks. That's what I wanted, and I grabbed what he had. He said, "There's a power, something I don't understand." I longed what I don't understand because it works for you, and I'm going to use it. Step three, by saying, "I'm going to do what you're doing." I turned my will and my life over in the care of that power, and I haven't taken it back since just a minute, somebody is trying to tell me something, and, "Okay, I'm back. I get distracted easily. Working the steps is action. Movement. Herring my book is action. Going to fellowship after a meeting is action. It's also planting seeds in my mind that hey, these people are kind of whole people. They have an outside life that's kind of interesting, and so I'm also planting the seeds of others, the idea that this is good. If I noticed that somebody is not going to fellowship, I said, "Well, come on. I'll buy your ginner tonight. Just once, but I'll buy your ginner tonight." All they get to know you. Many people don't carry money to their first meeting, or many people are in, and they do do. I'm, I'm saying, we're a generous lot. We're a giving group. Step four, wow. I had to go through all those seeds, all that stuff, and say, "No, I don't want to grow more of that. Oh, yeah, I want more of that." And I had to weed out what wasn't any good, and I had to tell it to my sponsor, and to God, what wasn't any good, and what was my part in it, and what was good. See, I've got lots of good in me as well as lots of bad. Though I shared with my sponsor, he made me the whole day. He said, "Come up to my place. Spend the night, because I lived 113 miles away from a meeting, and so it took me 30,000 miles to give my one-year ship." He asked me to come up to his house, stay and spend the night, and we'd start on step one. I mean, I'm like forced to come. He gave me his whole day, just to listen to my car beach. And then he said, "Go home and take a little bit of time, and think about all of this, but don't act out. You don't deserve a prize. You just did a house-creening." And then, gee, I had a list of character defects, or I think I had just lots of things in my life that were out of alignment. In my car, if it's out of alignment, it goes over this way. If I go to the mechanic, it gets an in alignment, it goes straight. I'm almost bad. Gosh, almost bad things that happened in my life that I did. I can find good in them. So, I did the chips and wrote the bad thing on one side, and on the other side, I wrote the good thing on planting the seeds of what I want. And as I'm planting seeds, I do lots of workshops. I was up in northern United States two weeks ago, and I went to the Polish convention and did some workshops over there, and did a workshop in Finland, too. And I'm planting seeds. I don't know how many people get sober or what happens, because God knows my ego. He doesn't want me to know how many things are growing. And I can't take things up to see if they grow. I just have to wait until the fruits happen. So, my life is so great. At 84 years old, I'm having a ball. I grow home from Fargo, North Dakota to my house. It took about 12, 14 hours, and it was such a wonderful drive. I love recovery. I love sharing recovery. But I have to be recovered in order to share it. I have to be having fruit on my tree in order to have seeds to plant. And so, anyone willing to pick the fruit right ahead, then you can have the seeds. Thank you, Daniel. It's good to see you. Good to see everybody on here. And thank you so much for letting me share. Thank you, Dave. Thanks, Dave. Thank you, Dave. Thanks, Dave. I'll say, "Dave." Thank you, Dave. Thank you, Dave. Hi, here, Karolina. Sexaholic. I don't have any question. I just want to serve briefly. Dave, thank you very much for your serve. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend your workshop in Spain when you were here. But you know, everybody, you know, the people who attend it will remind you. And who knows the seeds? I do plant if God is planting. If we can meet, I can meet you anytime, in anywhere. But thank you for your serve today. It was really, really nice. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you, Karolina. Nancy, your golden hand is up now. Yeah, I wish I could get it not so jaundiced. Oh, Dave, thank you so much. And I love you talked about connection, connection, being a seed. When we first met ages ago, I was not sober. And yet that seed of this seeing life was hope. I really like when you said you bring your book. And actually, what I like to do is I will turn to the place in the book and read it to myself. I mean, so that it's like, hey, it's really in here. It's not the seed pages that we pass around to me. I like what you said about calling folk. Now, what I will do the first time, I'll say, do you mind if I call you? You know, like if it's their first meeting or whatever. I also, I don't chase people. But if there's been a while and I haven't seen someone, I will reach out. Okay, I liked you changed the word. I hope I can squeeze this on like a tune up or a realignment as opposed to Nancy. Okay, the question is it used to word first look is on God. That's just, it's just like the first look. Is it another word that we could use for that? Anyway, thanks. Thank you. I'm amazed if I get out of the way quite often, I'll be just scrolling through my phone names or something. And I get a little tap on the shoulder. Oh, you want to call somebody? No, no, just call somebody. And I'm not, I don't call people to shame them. I just say, yeah, I ran a caution name on my phone list. Just wonder how you're doing or ran across your name enough. Wow, I remember that good meal we had or the good time we had. And so checking on people and one of the things that I have found is this program works for me. It's not for everybody. And there are people who have come to the program and they've not studied, but they're sober because they learned what they needed and they're working their program another way. And so just to say, hey, that reaffirms me. We've got two people on my town, one who's been sober for about eight years and he called me the other day. We went to a meeting. He had been to one in a long time, but his wife suggested me go. I just need to be open to those. Thank you. Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Nancy and Dave. Next up, we have Himanshu. Hello, Dave. Thanks for sharing. Just to say, I'm also grateful to call him. So, I just like, I came out of a connection lapse and right now I'm working step one. And my question is like, I was writing, so I had to go back to the old memories. So, there was a lot of fear. I was scared when those memories were coming up, the pictures, all the images were coming up. So, what should I do in such situations when I'm writing the step? I have to go through all the past memories. Secondly, I'm not sober today. I again acted out in the morning with myself. I was born. So, it's like, you know, my sponsor asked me to pray for the willingness or to be willing to stay sober. And I was doing that prayer in the morning, but all of a sudden, I don't know what happened. And the last thought was coming, I was praying, praying, praying, and then suddenly I, suddenly I stopped and I stopped praying and I acted out. So, what went wrong and what should I do? This I want to ask. Thank you. If we're having trouble with the wisdom of the central sense, if we're having trouble with the step, we back up and go to the step before that. If I'm having trouble with a step that I'm working on, I go back to the one before and say, well, maybe I didn't do it completely. Or I could, I missed some things. Maybe instead of step one, step zero. And I found that often, especially in the beginning, I had trouble praying for the willingness to do something. I had to pray for the willingness to be willing. I had to say, God, you know, I don't mean this, but they're telling me I need to do this. And I want recovery. I believe it's okay to say to my higher power, I don't want to do this, but help me do it. And so having that kind of openness with the higher power and openness with the sponsor, I hope you have a sponsor, openness with the sponsor to say, you know, I don't want to do that, but to my client for a week or something. Okay, thank you. Next question. Yeah. Thanks, Emancio. I'm on Europe. Hello, everyone. Thanks, Dave, for sharing, and I apologize for coming a bit late. So my question was that, you know, I was sitting this afternoon, and I just had this realization, you know, that I'm here sitting in my room with my laptop, you know, and I've got the Wi-Fi. And there's literally no one watching, you know, looking out for me, there's no accountability as such, you know, no parent or somewhere, because I'm sitting in my room in a different city. My parents are not there. There's no teacher, but still I'm by the grace of God, I'm not acting out because that's what I've known for the longest time, you know, whenever I've had the room to myself, I was either watching pornography and acting out. I was doing something dark. So so my question to you is, you know, I'm not sure about the, like, spiritual experience or the psychic change, you know, which the book talks about. So like, yeah, I acknowledge that I'm, thank you Natalie. So like, could you just share your research on the spiritual experience that you've had or the psychic change, because like, was it gradual for you, or was it a moment of epiphany for you? Like, thanks, thanks and it was okay. My first recovery experience was, I'm in deep trouble. I've got to call a counselor. I've never gone to a counselor, but I've got to call one because I need help. The next one was when the counselor gave me the book about sexual addiction. And I sat down and I read that book in one sitting, snot rolling down tears rolling down because I'm not alone. I was aware that there are other people like me. They weren't having fun doing it anymore. They were doing it because they had to. Wow. That was like, the light was turned on. Our own enlightened self-interest must tell us this. A light, well, I'm not alone. The next spiritual experience wasn't so many estate years or John's five years. It was eight weeks of sobriety. He's not married and he did. He's been sober for eight weeks. Wow. I want that. And just reminding myself that that's what I want. And that's what I want to keep a hold of. You have a room. Good for you. Be grateful you have a room. You have some quieted time. Nobody over your shoulder. Good for you. You probably had a meal today and you had a computer and you had electricity and you got enough power on your computer to do visual. Wow. Let's hear some gratitude from this stuff. Okay. Thank you. Next. Thanks. Tony, you're up next. Thanks. Hi, Tony. Sexaholic and thanks for sharing. I've been around a program for about 20 years and you know, I want to come in here and snap my fingers and have this thing. And I haven't, you know, I keep thinking, why am I struggling? I really haven't been in the middle of the boat. I've had a sponsor. Haven't really gotten to the steps yet because I haven't really done well with step zero. But anyway, I just wanted to say what you said about the fact that people that keep showing up get this thing. I just really needed to hear that. Now I'm a single guy myself, single father about autistic dude. And you know, sometimes I'm like, yeah, who cares? You know, but I truly want the sobriety. I know that my higher power has got something for me to do. And so thanks for the encouragement. That's all I have. Thank you. Wow. You have, you have a special challenge to love and learn new ways of doing things with that, with that child in doing things in a holy way that you're not equipped for. But God knows how ways of equipping you for it. You said, I've been around the program for so long. Why don't you join our program? Don't be around it. Don't have a head sponsor with him. Join the SA program and work our program instead of working your program. Tell it's sex, a whole ism. Ism, I self me, ism. Get out of the way. And say, hmm, maybe I'll join the SA program and do it their way. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Tony. Mohammed, you're up. Yeah, thanks. Thank you, Dave, for your whole your share. I really appreciate that. And I appreciate the hope that you get to me. My question is about gratitude. So usually when I write gratitude during my day, I don't feel like it's a useful thing. And I don't know, maybe I'm waiting for specific feelings after I wrote gratitude. I don't know if that's necessary or not. But I want to know how to get the maximum benefit from God's gratitude, how to like to. Yeah, that's the question, how to like feel the gratitude, feel the gratitude instead of keep just fighting daily, morning and evening. Okay. Thanks for the question. Number one, you've got a picture of a dog sitting in a table saying this is fine. Is that right? Yes. What's it mean? It's mean, I'm not okay. I see a few flames around you. Some people get sober when they see the light and others get sober when they feel the paint. It might be time to say, I'm not fine. Why don't you find a picture that says I'm growing. I'm on my way. I may be just a seed planted, but I can feel the the sunshine. We create what we focus on. And if you're focusing on, I'm fine. Okay, that's enough of that lecture. Right actions burning about right feelings, all feelings are real. I can feel fine. That can be real, but it's not valid. The house is on fire. That's what's valid. If I do the actions, get out of there, then the right feelings will follow. If I say, no, I don't like this attitude. I'm going to get away from here. Then you will do the action of getting away from there. So if I'm in an attitude of gratitude, if I'm thankful that I can walk, I can pop. I need new glasses, so I had trouble reading the sign. I have hearing aids, but I'm so glad I had hearing aids. Now I can hear. Wow, I don't have to grumble that I can't hear. When I take my hearing aids out of my head, I don't hear the thunderstorm on there. While we used to have thunderstorms, it's too dry now. Thanks for your question, bye-bye. Next. The Abdullah, you're next. Thank you, David. First of all, the execute my language. My question is, have you any stories or experience with the second direction and the second question? The second reduction, I mean food or work. Second, the question is, perfection is best. That's all. Thank you. Okay, okay. Your first question was, if I experienced another addiction, was that the question? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Not to go into detail, but when I was in SA for about a short time, we also had Essanon and Sylvia's husband helped found Essanon, just like Sylvia helped, was one of the founders of SA. She happens to have the longest sobriety in SA now, I believe. I got to know the Essanon problem, and I found out I'm not just one point on a line. I'm over here, but I kind of over here and over here and over here, and I was probably in Essanon before I turned into a sexaholic, or before I added sexaholicism. And so for, I have been a member of Essanon and working the steps and they have a sponsor for about 29 years. I said in my talk that I've also joined AA and have a sponsor and work the steps. I worked them very fast, but I have to have a sponsor for the programs that I'm in. I have to work those programs. I don't work the others very hard. SA is what will kill me first, and that's the one I'm working hardest. AA, gosh, I tried to work it with my SA program and I couldn't, though I got a sponsor and went to meetings, and it's really almost nothing now, except I know if I take one drink, it will be something. So you don't go to the hardware store for bread. Go to the bread store or bread. Go to the hardware store for hardware. I like your picture of the kid. We have an inner child that's waiting to come out. Yeah, sober so you can hold his hand and bring him out with you. Thank you. Next. Thank you. Yeah, Abdullah, did you mention something about perfectionism at the end there? Was that? Yeah, well, what was your question about that? I don't know. I have a problem with perfectionism. If I do a plan to my day and it doesn't work, I go to be safe. Do you have any idea of it? Work the steps on it. I'm powerless over it. Write out until you're sponsored. Did you want to work the step on perfectionism? How are you powerless over it? My sponsor had me make a mistake every day and not correct it. That was so hard. But I don't, I don't annually work my steps all the way through. But when something comes up, I work the steps on it. Fear, anger, I work the steps on things as they come up. Okay. Thanks Abdullah. We do have time for one possibly two short questions so the floor is still open. Or short answers. I wasn't going to say that. Brandon, go ahead. Okay. Yeah, this is Brandon Sexaholic. Do you talk a little bit about recovery being about the insides, not the outsides? You know, a lot of times we look at people and we think, or me, I'll say me, oh, they, you know, he has all together. He's married. He's, you know, successful in all this. But how can I make my recovery about the insides, not the outsides? I guess number one, I can accept my insides. I can accept that as Harvey says, the difference between recovery or sobriety and recovery is the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad. I was playing in the chicken shit. When I gave it away and washed my hands and did my first step, I still own all those things I did. But that's not me. I have moved. So owning who I am, owning that I have good qualities as well as bad qualities, owning that those bad qualities that I have can be turned into good things. My faking and fudging on my expense account and everything else, I have turned it into being creative in my finances in recovery, using frequent fire miles for trips or things and saying, okay, this is how much an airline trip would cost. If you could give me the basic, the lowest air price, because I need cash, I don't need frequent fire miles being creative, and there's a beautiful picture of an apple, a gorgeous apple. And there's a picture here back looking at the apple's reflection in the mirror, but the side of the apple that is not at the mirror has a couple of bites out of it. What people, you know, the reflection is what people are saying, they don't see the bites out of the bath. We keep hearing on social media and everything, everybody's perfect sides, and we don't see the other sides. Except the past, say I'm growing and say, every once in a while, that's a lie. When I'm, if I make a mistake, I say, I'll say, well, that was a dumb thing to know, and it wasn't a dumb thing. I just made a mistake. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Brandon. There was a, I don't know if everyone's seen it in the chat, someone is looking for folks with whom he can read his step one. So if you notice that in the chat and you want to direct message that person, feel free to do so. And I guess we have, we have about two or three minutes, if there's one more quick question or share Claudia, go ahead. Thank you, Dave, for sharing. I appreciate to hear you. I just want to ask you, I love that you talked about your, your calling people. You are not waiting that they call you the newcomers. That's the, they don't. This is a topic for me because I'm also an Elanong and a codependent. And sometimes I'm thinking, I'm thinking too much, but this is for me, it's, it's not so easy to do this. I'm in my codependency, but I'm going after them. Or is it out of a attitude of that I want to be helpful and, and, and being at service? Or is it my, I want to help? Yes. So this, maybe you can share something about it. Thank you. Follow your sponsor. Ask your sponsor is this, you know, am I being codependent or am I really willing to share? I, I call my sponsor about things, not nearly as often as I could, but I've got three sponsors and I call my three sponsors about different things. It's okay. I, I do a lot of traveling. I do a lot of workshops and things. And I said, well, maybe I shouldn't be saying I've been to 50 countries. And, and my sponsor says, you're sober, aren't you? Are you saying it's because of recovery or because of who you are? But it's not because of who I am. It's because of recovery. He said, well, shout it. No, doubt your recovery. Throw out those seeds if they grow great. If not, that's not your problem. Mm hmm. Okay. Well, thank you to do it. Thank you. You keep smiling.
