Wow... You are quite the writer. You say what I wish I had the eloquence to say. Thank you.

At a COSA (Codependents of Sex Addicts) meeting, a fellow codie told me that, once a sex addict starts seeking recovery, he/she loses the only valid excuse for his/her acting-out behavior -- that he had no idea how to treat his/her addiction.

Excuses kept me from taking responsibility. (How I used to hate the R word)

Great post.

Excuses give us permission to do our will, while reasons hold us accountable for it. AR

You are so much farther along than I am - I understand what you are saying - but I just am not there yet... Cat

Excuses only get me in trouble too and I thought your article was insightful. I am a drug addict myself and have been struggling with addiction for over 15 years. Most of the treatment I received in drug treatment programs california provided me with many excuses on why I couldn't get past my addiction. Well I walked into that trap and got stuck many times. After hitting bottom a few too many times I did away with all the excuses and realized my biggest obstacle was myself.

You read my mind today. I posted about unacceptable behavior. I tend to look the other way but there are times when I simply won't. It is up to me to take care of myself.
