The Twelve Steps of Sexaholics
Anonymous
- We admitted that we were powerless over lust --
that our lives had become unmanageable.
- Came to believe that a Power greater than
ourselves could restore us to sanity.
- Made a decision to turn our will and our lives
over to the care of God as we understood Him.
- Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of
ourselves.
- Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another
human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
- Were entirely ready to have God remove all these
defects of character.
- Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
- Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and
became willing to make amends to them all.
- Made direct amends to such people wherever
possible, except when to do so would injure them or
others.
- Continued to take personal inventory and when we
were wrong, promptly admitted it.
- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve
our conscious contact with God as we understood Him,
praying only for knowledge of His will for us and
the power to carry that out.
- Having had a spiritual awakening as the result
of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to
sexaholics, and to practice these principles in all
our affairs.
