In the beginning of our cosex addiction recovery and healing of painful relationship dynamics, survival kicks in. We are struggling with denial, the shock of all the new awarenesses and overwhelmed with learning healthful, more empowering behaviors. Putting one foot in front of the other becomes all that we can do; one day at a time.

As our foundation begins to find a place in recovery, we begin to experience the fruits of our labor. We learn how to identify and ask for what we want and need. We learn how to care well for ourselves and set boundaries that keep us empowered and protected. With our own spiritual connection deepening, we also have tools for dealing with powerlessness and learn to take action when appropriate. Our physical and cognitive energies are no longer wrapped in survival, trying to force outcomes or control circumstances. Our energy increases and we begin to open up to receiving the abundance of choices, healthful connections and resources available to us.

Over time, we learn how to receive the abundant spiritual resources available to us. In our prayer and meditation practice, we consistently release what does not serve and ask for guidance and inspiration so that we will continue to grow along spiritual lines. We maintain a vibrant spiritual condition that allows for the transformation and clarity of any situation that does not serve our highest purpose. Answers for life's challenges and the right actions to take come easily to us. We attract support and partnerships that empower our work in the world and our relationships become a place of joy and authentic connection.

Here are some tips for receiving these abundant spiritual resources consistently:

1. Stay aware of the self-sabotaging behaviors that we use to cope with life. Awareness is the beginning of choice, so stay awake!

2. Be consistent with prayer and meditation to keep a fit and vibrant spiritual condition. Consistency is the key.

3. Maintain partnerships with people that are in recovery and on the path of emotional and spiritual maturity. Having circles where rigorous self-honesty is welcomed and witnessed with gratitude will allow for the power of the old self-sabotaging thoughts and beliefs to be diminished.

Remember there are stages in cosex addiction recovery. At first we have awareness of the addictive dynamics. Then, we learn to take actions to transform the addictive, survival patterns and learn self care. Then we develop consistency in our recovery and spiritual program in order to receive and live in the abundance available.

Blessings on your journey,
