The Great Possible

Recovery from lust by ourselves is impossible.  Anyone that has tried to recover alone from lust has discovered what real powerlessness means.  There is only one recourse and that is to The One that can restore us to sanity.  

True recover in sex addiction is impossible without victory over lust.  Once we discover that we are powerless over lust, but there is One who Himself is the sex addict’s victory over lust.  Whenever the sex addict is tempted to lust, he must learn to die to the temptation, look upward to God, and bring Him into the fight.  Personally.

Sexual Addiction Recovery

Everyone that wants to recover from sex addiction must face this impossibility of a “lust cure” so that he/she will be forced to find their saving connection with God.  True recovery (joyous and free) is utterly impossible without finding God, owning and healing the wreckage of your past, making amends, and working with other struggling sex addicts.

This is the essence of the original 12-steps of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous.  The longer one is in recovery, the more obvious he/she will understand the true spiritual nature of addiction and the utter dependence on a Power greater than ourselves, even greater than lust.

The whole idea is that we don’t have to lust at all.  The sex addict will be tempted but doesn’t have to drink the lust drug at all.  The victory is in a prior attitude of the heart which derives from unconditional full surrender to God.  Thus, victory over lust (The Great Impossible) becomes the Great Possible.  The Great Impossible is surrendered to the Great I AM!
