from ESSAY Magazine (An International Journal of Sexaholics Anonymous) · host Essay Magazine
The January 29 reflection from The Real Connection has had a profound impact on my recovery. I realized that for me, each step is a three A process: awareness, acceptance, and action. I’m very aware of Step One. The awareness is, “Oh, I guess I am addicted.” Actually, in Step One, I’m admitting that I have this problem. I have to accept it and write out my sexual history, the way my life is unmanageable. That proves to me that yes, I do have this problem, and it helps me to accept it. Then it suggests that once I’ve done that, to take action. I take Step Two.
