    Please welcome our newest Sister, Patricia.

    Patricia had some issues signing up, so I am working on that with her.

    Please open your arms and your heart to Patricia and show her the love and support that the Sisterhood offers.

    Welcome Patricia, come on in, browse the topics and comments and please don’t be shy about jumping right in and joining the conversations.

    Love and hugs ~ JoAnn

    HI Patricia,
    Thank you for joining the sisterhood. I’m sorry for what has brought you here, but I know you will find information and support here, and we will be honest about what we’ve experienced too. Welcome!
    Diane.

    Hello Patricia,

    Glad to have you among us sisters. We are a group of loving, caring ladies who unfortunately have met here to discuss how to handle the emotional distress and trauma of sex addiction.

    We love, laugh, cry, get angry, and joke around and through all of that, we help each other!

    Much love, Claire

    Dear Patricia,

    Welcome! This is a special place for those of us that have been hurt by whatever this “thing” is. I hope you find comfort here and a safe place to share your feelings when you are ready. We have heard it all and we all understand.

    My dear sister-lady friends-thank you to all for your warm welcome and compassion-doing the online thing as a way to communicate is hard for me-for some reason it makes me feel more vulnerable somehow. Just wanted too say this up front. Am grateful for this space

    And the chance to connect with others who really know this pain. Looking forward to getting to know and sharing with everyone. LOVE.

    A warm welcome Patricia. I think that we were all a bit reticent at first. Please notice that many of us have posted our photos. We’re proud to be here and to share our TRUTHS. We are not hiding in shame or cowering in fear.

    Well, not ALL the time. 😉 We are here for you… whatever you need, please feel free to share as you are comfortable.

    hugs ~ Lexie (Laurel), but originally, I was Lorraine.

    seeeeeeeeee??? some now call me Triple L… haha!

    we cry and rail and laugh a lot too!

    Patricia,
    Hopefully as you read and share your comfort will grow. Until then, just reading and hearing some of your situation in so many other people’s lives will hopefully help. Even if you never post a word about your own situation you’ll still find support. Welcome 🙂

    Hi Patricia,
    Welcome aboard the love train! You have landed in the perfect spot, although very sorry you need to be here!

    We Already have something in common! (I share your name!)

    Take a deep breath, go to the Groups tab and click at the top of the page, then click on “Stories” and happy reading! That will keep you busy for awhile! It will be helpful too. You will see how openly we lay it out there, the good, bad, ugly, and unthinkable! We are all surviving this nightmare, one day at a time. Our stories are vulnerable, our comments are sincere and heartfelt. This is a safe place to be. I feel at “home” whenever I log in, which is usually several times a day! As time passes, you will feel more comfortable sharing your thoughts, fears, questions, advice, etc. We all learn from each other. You can post your story right away, if you are ready, or you can wait for months (or even years) or never. It’s all up to You! 🙂 I found posting my story fairly early on was helpful. Not only to write it all out (painful process) but also to feel the love and acceptance from the sisters-no matter what your situation! Again, it’s up to you!
    Looking forward to getting to know you, dear sister!

    Love,

    SL (Patricia) (Patty) 🙂

    Good morning, again many thanks to all for the warm welcome. Making me cry this morning. So much hurt held for so long and your understanding and reaching out just feels like the walls i’ve built over so many years are now moving on quicksand to move into integrity all that’s been buried must come into the light. I am sure i will be sharing – i just do better in person, but know that i’ve been guided here and will make the best use I can of this opportunity – both to learn and grow and to support everyone else. There is strength in coming together and being witih others who KNOW this pain…and Patricia/ Patty (like you i was also a ‘patty’ : ) another sign.

    All LOVE.

    Hi, Patricia!

    I’m a newbie here and often find typing out my stories/questions/comments is so hard. I can’t find the right words. I’m easily flustered. It seems like so much work.

    And it seems so unfair that we should have to shoulder the burden to do the healing for something we didn’t do, didn’t ask for, don’t want.

    But healing is important. And I find that every day that I spend here, at SOS, is vital to my healing. Many days I just read and cry. I don’t even try to comment, much less post a question or concern. But some days, I do feel able to put together a thought and hope that I can help someone else. And I think it does. And I know that the support I needed was here, is here, and isn’t going anywhere.

    So sorry you needed this site, but so glad you found it too!

    Love,

    Paula

    Hi patricia
    welcome, and I am so sorry that you found yourself here. This is the one place I found were I can bounce all the unbelievably crazy stuff that is happening in my life. I am grateful for the women here and their unconditional love. We are all in the same place. A year ago when my life blew up I would have never guessed that anyone else in the world was going through this – seriously. You come to realize so much about your h’s disorder when the posts are so similar to what you are going through.
    Hugs and peace

    Dear Patricia,
    Welcome to this wonderful place—-I’ve cried and laughed while on here ( sometimes within the same 15 minutes). Most of all, I’ve found more support than I ever thought possible. These ladies have helped me navigate through something crazy, surreal and unimaginable. I hope you have the same experience.
    Love and hugs,
    Julie
