Using the Three Second Rule – Sex and Relationship Repair

Man is nothing but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.

As recovering sex and porn addicts, we cannot control the thoughts that pop up in our minds. able Control is how we control these thoughts once we become aware of them. After becoming aware of an unwanted, impersonal thought or sexual fantasy, we can give ourselves up to three seconds to redirect our attention to something else. Often, once we become aware of the triggering thought, we “turn it over” to our Higher Power, asking for the thought to be removed. This process is powerful and works well, even for those who have difficulty understanding God or a Higher Power. Do something (anything) to get rid of unwanted thoughts or fantasies almost always works.

Today’s Task
Be aware of your thoughts, especially your sexual thoughts, and how long you allow them to linger.
