Taking the next right action is a common recovery slogan, and it is common because of how well it works. If we just acted out, or are in fear that we are about to, distracting ourselves by taking the next right action is the shortcut back into recovery. Jeffrey and Troy provide their insight into this very useful program tactic, which can help all of us rebound from relapse, or even just maintain focus on our daily recovery journey.

Denial holds all of us back from true sobriety in our recovery, especially sex and porn addiction. If we are in denial, we are not able to face the daily challenges that will inevitably pull us back into the grip of active addiction. Jeffrey explains how denial and pride have held him back from the sobriety he has been seeking in his life, and Troy gives his take using 12 step recovery program principles.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

We apologize for the gaps between episodes where we miss a month every once in a while. The two of us try our best to keep the podcast going amidst our daily lives, and our commitment to our own recovery. We have hired some more help to administrate the podcast and make it much smoother for us, so we hope moving forward we will be able to publish episodes more consistently for all you who listen.

We see that you all enjoy the podcast. We see all the countries you're from, and we are astounded at the reach we have amongst our fans despite being a fledgling podcast. We love you all and appreciate the fact that you "keep coming back" to listen! Let's all make it a sober day today! One day at a time...

In this episode, Jeffrey and Troy discuss the depth behind this phrase within the fifth step, and how to apply this thinking to our daily life in recovery. Addiction is a threefold disease: the allergy of the body, the obsession of the mind, and the spiritual malady. So we have a threefold solution: receving support from God, ourselves, and another human being. In whatever conception of God (Higher Power) that works for us. The fifth step is not a one time thing we finish with our sponsor and then move on. The twelfth step says "practicing these principles within our lives", which implies that we can take the learnings of each step with us to use within our day to day, moment to moment journey of recovery.
