Step 11 – Sexual and Relationship Healing

On the road to truth, people only make two mistakes: not going all the way, and not starting.

For many recovering sex and porn addicts, Step 11 is relatively easy, especially if they came to recovery through existing spiritual practices. In this case, working back on that discipline is usually the right thing to do. An exception to this occurs when a person no longer trusts or believes in the discipline. This sometimes occurs when “one’s childhood religion” has a scary, judgmental, punitive form of God, or when the people associated with that religion do not practice what they preach. Others recover without a sense of spiritual connection. Regardless, if you find yourself looking for some higher power and don’t know where to look, Step 11 can be daunting. But it’s not necessary. The only thing required for success is an open mind and willingness, and by the time most of us reach step 11, we already have some familiarity with these principles.
