We have a new Sister, her name is Ellen. Here’s what Ellen wrote in her profile:
I am looking to connect with other women who have spouses that are sex addicts

Welcome Ellen, please take your time and look around, read the topics and comments and just jump right in if you have something to say or want to join in a chat.

We are all very friendly here so don’t be shy. The weekend may be a little slow on the site as some of the Sisters arranged to meet in Indiana for a get together.

If you have any questions just ask someone here or e-mail me. I know you will find the information, resources and support you are looking for.

Love and hugs,

JoAnn

Hi Ellen,
I’m glad to meet you and look forward to making a deeper connection as we engage the topics. Each woman here brings something familiar and some new to this hard journey. It’s very difficult sometimes, but we are here to find our way together.
Lots of light to you,
Diane.

Welcome, Ellen!

I’ve only been here for a week or so, but have been welcomed with open arms from all of the women here. There are lots of “Sisters” that are part of this group… and you’ll find that we’re all in different stages… but there are so many similarities in our stories.

So sorry to be meeting you under these circumstances, but so glad that we have such a place to meet. I hope you will find all the support you need here.

Love,

Paula

Hi Ellen and welcome to SOS. There are many of us who are in different places but we understand the pain of SA. Please feel free to join any forums. We learn from each other. Welcome!
Love, Nap

Hello Ellen:

Welcome to our home away from home. A place where we feel loved, accepted, understood, and encouraged to speak our minds. We have good days to report and bad days where we just vent. Either way, there’s always some one here to listen and understand.

Sorry for the circumstances that brought you here but extremely happy that you found your way here.

Much love, Claire

Hi Ellen and welcome,
I’m ms-lindy and I’m married to a sex addict. My SA is navigating the recovery process since February of this year, and yes, it’s difficult and painful. You are in the right place to regain a sense of who YOU are, I’m glad you found us. We won’t let you down, ever. Hugs and love to you.

Ellen,
A very warm welcome. I joined SOS about 6 months ago, and I don’t know how I would navigate this painful journey without it. I was one of the sisters who got together in Indiana this weekend–something I could NEVER how conceived of six months ago. That’s how amazing these ladies and this site all are. You will learn to navigate it pretty easily. Just take your time and come back often.
Lots of love, Julie

Hi Ellen,

oh dear, I have no idea what you must be thinking with all of the crazy on here, these days. However, on the Junkies’ Wives’ Club, they have a wonderful slogan which I will share:

“We’re all here, because we’re not all there.”

And how can we be? Our lives have been turned inside out and upside down by what we have and are going through and it is an ongoing thing as we attempt to move forward and learn and grow. Sometimes, we stumble, but we get up and brush ourselves off and forge ahead.

Please know, that what has been going on the past couple of days, is NOT normal, on here…not by a long shot!

This is the most loving, supportive caring group of women that anyone could ever hope to meet. I hope we haven’t scared you off!

my best and love,

Lexie or Laurel (my real name) 🙂
