Thank you so much! 
SLAA is great for me too! And I’ve been also thinking and journaling, and talking with my sponsor on the anorexic part of sex and love addiction, and I think I identify on that side too and somewhere in between.
A disclaimer for the interwebs: anorexia in slaa context is not about food, it’s more about sex and emotional side of a person’s life. Not a concept I personally made up.
Would you happen to be a sexual anorexic?
Are we polar opposites?
First of all, thanks for asking! 
Hmm, now I think I’m still in a place where I’m processing the anorexia part. I honestly thought, that I was an introvert and that it was part of my culture (I’m Finnish), where we don’t connect with our emotions, for instance.
In terms of being sexual anorexic, I’ve had periods where I haven’t been sexually active, but periods when I have been more active (in a destructive way).
But I’m not entirely sure yet where I fall in all of that.
You are the most awesomest person on TS Milele! 
Aww gee Becky, are you also trying to make a grown woman cry? 
Thank you!
And thank you for putting a kitty into my thread!!! That’s awesome!!!
Ha ha! Here’s so more kitties then
Yes, I WANT ALL THE KITTIES!!!
I love minions!
LOVE YOU TOO!!!
Sexual anorexia is the most common form of anorexia that’s discussed in the sexual addiction community. Patrick carnes wrote a book about it which is very good.
SLAA created a pamphlet discussing sexual, emotional, and social anorexia. And it’s important to accept that anorexia can be just as destructive as addiction.
For me, being socially anorexic involves not having many friends, or avoiding social interaction. I can be quite a loner. It’s okay for me to be introverted, but my tendency is to take it too far.
For me, being emotionally anorexic means that I’m not in touch with my feelings. Most of the time, I’m really not aware of them. Sometimes, I just feel like they’re not there. The three main feelings that I might be able to be in touch with are sad, mad, and glad. Anything outside of that starts to get a more difficult. For instance, jealousy is really hard for me to grasp.
One of the most difficult feelings for me to feel is love. When I listened to other people’s share about their love addiction in SLAA, I came to realize that I sexualized love to the extent the I was disconnected with what they were talking about.
And for me, recovery meant that I not only had to address my sex addiction, but also my anorexia in these areas as well.
I was responding to a question that was removed. The question was
What exactly is emotional, social, and love anorexia?
Thank you for clarifying this so well! Much appreciated!
Oh wow, thank you Chris! Are you all trying to make a grown woman cry??
Hey whassup!
It’s good to see you too.
Hey Milele.
Congratulations on your 157 days and starting this thread. I hope it helps bring you continued success in your recovery.
I don’t usually check in too often on personal threads but I wanted to find a place to tell you I love how Becky pronounces your name. I had a wonderful time with a Becky the other day. And when she said your name, I’m like who is that? In my mind you’ve always been Millie. I have a very simple mind. But now I know how to pronounce your name and I just think it’s beautiful.
You have a great day. You beautiful person with a beautiful name.
Thank you Eric! I appreciate your support so much!
You know, I’m so jealous that you and Becky got to meet!! I so would have like to be there!!
Oh yeah, my username here is a Swahili word that means eternity. I have some Kenyan and Tanzanian friends where Swahili is spoken, and I’ve visited Tanzania once. And I think it’s a pretty cool word 
So glad you said nice things considering I tricked you onto the Zoom Eric…he he he 
I’ve never seen Milele turn her camera on so fast before when she saw you 
it was so wonderful to meet up and just a FABULOUS day!!
Oh yes! @Dazercat Milile is supposed to come for a visit here eventually. Hopefully it’s during your CA visits! 
Hey Milele, kinda cool to see you posting this, I ended up in a SLAA meeting once by accident( I swear was not looking for a GF lol)
But no I read the pamphlet wrong and ended up in the wrong room, it was quite interesting, I learned a lot too.
Like when I thought PMO addiction I thought more of the unmarried, isolated type yet I think most of the people there were married. And admitted that their Sex and porn addiction strained their relationships, i could not Understand it, like you have a partner why look elsewhere?
Turns out I didn’t understand addiction as a whole and the dopamine rush concurring with Sexual addictions and similarities with other addictions.
You going to take us to magic mountain
Oh by the way sorry I walk out with out paying for my soda water. What a bum. I’ll buy next time.
