In that sense, the challenge is more like that confronted by food addicts. As the saying goes, "Trying to eat abstinently is like attempting to take a tiger out of a cage 3 times a day and then cajole him back in till the next time.” Recovering food addicts must eat. They can't simply refrain from their “drug” - they have to acquire a healthy, in progress relationship with it. So must sex addicts.
The job may feel overpowering, but there's hope. A lot of individuals around the globe are discovering recovery from addictive sexual conduct. How? How does recovery from sex addiction occur?
Recovery calls for facing topics about our past tense, here and now, and future tense. I promote what I call a "return to the future" approach: begin by becoming clear-cut about your vision for healthy sexuality (future tense), make certain that your surroundings help you move towards that vision (here and now), and do whatever it requires to make peace with your past tense.
I comprehend the importance of living in the here and now. Christ encouraged his following to not be apprehensive about tomorrow, but rather center on the needs of now. Paul wrote of his resolution to “forget what lies behind”. A lot of spiritual teachers stress the importance of living in the minute, and thought that's highlighted by the “one day at one time” centering in much recovery teaching.
The “Return to the Future” plan of attack is merely a way to consider the problems of recovery. We get clean-cut about our vision for the future tense, not as we discount living in the here and now, but as we wish to move in the correct direction. We wish to make peace with our past tense not as we require to drag up old hurts and stay stuck in the past tense. We do it as we wish to free ourselves from the bonds of the past tense. We wish to let those old wounds go, so we may be free to live in the here and now, one day at a time.
With that in mind, think about this “Return to the Future” plan of attack to recovery from sexual battles.
