I started a series on Sex Addiction by Praise Fowowe on popular demand, read HERE if you missed. And we looked at a few ways out, here is the concluding part of that series.
Look for a mentor and accountability partner: It is very important that you get a mentor or an accountability partner whom you can open up to at all times. I mean that person that you respect enough to be honest with at all times. He must be empowered by you to ask you about your sex life at any point and time. You must also respect his opinion enough to follow his counsel at all times. Please don’t choose a fellow addict as your partner or else you won’t grow beyond your present state.
Get a picture of the new person they want to create: You must be able to get the picture of the future you want to create. What kind of man/woman would you love to become? Write it out clearly and make sure that you look at it every day as you work towards it.
Change sex diet: associates and stimulants and fill with new information. You can’t become free by moving ahead with your old friends, music, books, magazines and movies. You have to change to new diets that depict the new you that you are trying to create.
Guard the mind with diligence and learn to communicate: Guard the gates into your life because what gets into your mind will ultimately affect your life. Be careful of what you hear and see. You must also learn to communicate with your mentor each time the urge comes to get into your old way.
Believe it is possible even when there is a slip: You are likely going to get discouraged when you fall into what you used to do but you must realize that it is part of the learning process. You must not give up. Some will get it right immediately but those that could not should not be too hard on themselves. Just believe it is possible afterall some of us wrote some exams 4times before we passed. Keep believing the vision of freedom from sex addiction no mater what happens.
Let go of the past and keep confessing future reality: You have to rise above your past even if it was yesterday. You can be driving forward looking backward. People may find it difficult to forgive you receive forgiveness from God and forgive yourself. Stop heaping blames on yourself or the person that abused you. Thank God you are still alive, let yesterday go into the grave while you move on today as you focus on the future you want to capture.
I believe all these should be able to help you however if you are still finding things very tough or you don’t know whom to really trust as your mentor then try and give us a call and let us see how to help out. But one thing that is most important here is your mental liberation. If your mind could change every other thing will change.
However I need to tell you that you really need to avoid vulnerable position so that you don’t fail and I think the following tips would really be of help.
– Be accountable- tell your mentor how you feel about certain individuals per time
– Understand your sexuality and love language – what turns you on?
– Know your bottom line – When are you likely to lose your mind? If hanging out with a particular person makes you compromise your values then identify the person and avoid such people.
– Communicate your position – If such persons want you at all cost then tell them you wouldn’t want to hang with them. If they are your old customers then tell them you are not the old person they used to know.
– Act out your conviction – Do what is right despite the pressure, if possible run instead of trying to argue with them.
– Keep your vision in view – The picture of the new you must be with you at all times. How will you feel be if you attain that new person?
– Avoid vulnerable positions – darkness, old customers and others
Sexual recovery is possible no matter the damage the addiction has done to you. God can bring about a new beginning for every victim. Every journey that was started could be ended. Sex addiction was started by a wrong mindset propelled by wrong information and could be ended by a right mindset propelled by right information which is available to you now. I want you to know that no matter your present situation, you can always get better and become a role model.
