This book contains commentaries on the Twelve Step and Twelve Traditions as adapted from the original principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, as written by members of Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA). They provide experience, strength, and hope in working the Twelve Steps and practical wisdom in the observance of the Twelve Traditions. The primary focus of recovery in SCA is establishing the boundaries between healthy sex and intimacy and the compulsive behaviors that ultimately caused many of the same problems for SCA members as alcohol did for AA members. Nevertheless, the principles developed by AA in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, diligently applied, provide a spiritual foundation for recovery in SCA. Keywords: 12-Step Recovery, Sex Addiction, Sexual Compulsion, Compulsive Masturbation, Spirituality, Anonymous Sex, Romantic Obsession
“Sponsorship is two people with the same problem helping each other to work the program. It can provide a framework for a sexual recovery plan and for doing the Twelve Steps, and can bring emotional support at difficult times.” — The Tools That Help Us Get Better
This book contains more than four decades of experience, strength, and hope in recovery from sexual compulsion. It has been written, edited, and published entirely by members of Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA). This 3rd edition is an expanded and updated version of SCA’s previous recovery book. It includes commentaries on the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions as adapted from the original principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, as written by members of SCA. They provide context for working the Twelve Steps and practical wisdom in the observance of the Twelve Traditions. This version also contains new commentaries on The Characteristics Most of Us Seem to Have in Common, an early work that SCA members developed in the 1980s. The book begins with a Foreword written by Alexandra Katehakis, Ph.D., who is a Clinical Sexologist and Founder of the Center for Healthy Sex. She is the author of numerous books on sex addiction and intimacy issues. This edition addresses the individual in recovery and then discusses how SCA members recover together in groups and the fellowship at large. There are also chapters on sexual anorexia and pornography, apps, and internet addiction that SCA developed to address the fellowship’s changing needs. After extensive revisions, many separately released SCA publications, including Moving Through Withdrawal, Avoiding Common Pitfalls, Secret Shame, etc., have chapters in this edition. Other chapters from the SCA: A Program of Recovery, 2nd edition, were revised and updated before inclusion in this edition. These sections address designing a sexual recovery plan, sponsorship, the telephone as a recovery tool, compulsive masturbation, abstinence, and ways to avoid a “slip.” The chapters on individual recovery conclude with SCA’s version of The Promises of Alcoholics Anonymous: The Gifts of Recovery. The group recovery section has updated chapters on starting an SCA meeting, what happens at SCA meetings, and doing service in SCA. Origins of SCA, which are stories written by some of SCA’s founders, appear unchanged from the previous edition. This book also contains twenty-eight (28) stories of individual recovery, written by various SCA members. Keywords: 12-Step Recovery, Sex Addiction, Sexual Compulsion, Compulsive Masturbation, Spirituality, Anonymous Sex, Romantic Obsession, Sexual Sobriety, Pornography, Apps, Webcams, Recovery from Shame, Withdrawal, Sponsorship, Abstinence, Anorexia, Low Self-esteem
Use SCA to Simplify the Development and Delivery of Service-Based Applications Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a new programming model that enables developers to build distributed applications more efficiently and effectively than previous technologies. In Understanding SCA (Service Component Architecture), two leading experts offer the first complete and independent guide to SCA. Drawing on extensive experience both developing the SCA standards and implementing large-scale SCA applications, Jim Marino and Michael Rowley provide an insider's perspective for developers and technical managers tasked with architecting and implementing enterprise systems. Rather than simply providing a technology overview, the authors draw on their practical experiences with SCA, explaining The full history behind SCA How SCA fits with other enterprise technologies such as JEE, .NET, Web Services, and BPEL All the major SCA concepts including composition, policy, wires, and bindings Best practices for designing SCA applications Using SCA with Web Services, Message-Oriented Middleware, BPEL, JPA, and Servlets Understanding SCA (Service Component Architecture) provides the background necessary to make informed decisions about when and how to best use SCA to build enterprise applications.
