Applying the First Step of S-Anon

The First Step of S-Anon
1. We admitted we were powerless over sexaholism - that our lives had become unmanageable.

S-Anon Couples in Recovery group members work the twelve steps on themselves in their individual SAnon and other groups. We also work the steps within the Couples in recovery program.

As we focus on ourselves, we see many of the overt and covert ways that we attempt to control each other. Whether the hailstorm of anger or the passive aggressive turtle, we see that their our individual behaviors, in the coupleship become roles. When we listen to other couples in recovery share, we often get insights into our own actions and attitudes.

A share on the First Step
"When I first came into Couples, I didn't know what focus on myself meant. I wanted to hear what my husband had to say. Through listening to other couples I slowly realized there was more to our couple dynamic than just sexual addiction. I also found hope for recovery."
