To overcome, one must stay focused on the goal and outcome, not the momentary distractions.
Unsurprisingly, many sex and porn addicts new to treatment and recovery find themselves sexually or romantically attracted to people in their therapy group or their 12-step recovery group. This is the addiction fighting back, trying to take control once again. It is important for recovering addicts to not act on these feelings. A much better option is to discuss the attraction with someone who is not involved, usually the therapy group facilitator or a 12-step sponsor, though anyone who is actively involved in sexual recovery will do. Eventually, these feelings of attraction pass, and we are always glad we did not act on them.
Task for Today
Be honest with your therapist and sponsor about your current sexual and romantic attraction(s).
