ESSAY August 2024 - Vulnerable, But Sane - KB, Missouri, USA

ESSAY Magazine (An International Journal of Sexaholics Anonymous)

Thank God I have a program. I have come to believe that a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity.

I continue to have lustful thoughts. They come to me because I live in an environment where titillation of the senses is a commercial device that businesses use to sell their products. This device is used in all modern media. Unless I live in a cave, I can’t avoid temptation. Even in a cave, I can’t avoid euphoric recall of lustful thoughts. There is no way I can avoid lustful thoughts. I have to accept the fact that I am vulnerable to these thoughts.
