Many people lose their sobriety or relapse back into lust and sexual addiction. Most of us have learned that relapse is a process that happens over a period of time. Slowly we let our priority of sober and lust-free thinking and acting be replaced by other things. Then we become ripe for relapse. Some of us say we had a slip. We have gone back to our disease and addiction. We have taken back our problem from our Higher Power. We stopped cooperating with God and started cooperating with our addiction again. This plight can happen to any sexaholic no matter how long we have been sober. It is not mandatory. It does not have to be. Relapse is optional.

Am I going to leave my problem in God’s hands, or am I going to take it back from Him and cooperate with my disease?

God help me to cooperate with you today and not with my disease. Give me the strength and courage to surrender lust today. Thank you for the gift of sobriety from lust today.
