Humility

Yesterday at the meeting we kicked off the step seven reading.  Humbly ask God to remove all of our defects of character.  

I suppose for some there for the pride to conquer the world around us.  But we sex addicts have found that when we ran the show, we ran the show into the ditch.

We don't want to live in shame, but our acting out hurt people, destroyed relationships, objectified people, put us in danger of disease and life, and moved us towards losing the things that we valued the most.  It wasn't our worst thinking that got us there but our best.

So we had to find a different way and that way was in humility.  The humility that is less self-preoccupied and boring.  The humility that lets us learn from God and others to enjoy the good things of life given to us.
