Course on Lust and Taking The First Step

During this amazing course, it talks about taking the first step. This is something I remember so vividly. When I finally came to the realization that I do indeed have a sex addiction, it was actually a huge weight lifted off from my shoulders. I could finally breathe a bit knowing I could make this admission to myself and others. I could finally get some help with the issues I have been struggling with since I was 13 years old.

In Part 1, he talks about lust and sexual fantasies. He says a sexual fantasy is a motion picture that has sexual content in it. I see these often and it is so difficult to keep them out of my mind which just proves I need more recovery and S.A. in my life. I need to keep these pictures out of my mind. He says once it is a motion picture, God will even have trouble stopping it. This is so true. God is great but he can’t control what I have in my mind.

The speaker says that lust is a mental issue and not a physical issue. I had a difficult time differentiating between the two for so long. In my teenage years, I thought it was all physical. I didn’t think it had anything to do with what was in my mind, only what I was feeling in my body. That is not correct. I know that it comes down to what I am thinking and feeling. It comes to what thoughts roam through my mind.

I hope that I can find more courses or information from Harvey A. I enjoy how he put the information together throughout the sessions in this course. It was easy to understand and wasn’t too in depth so I could still understand all of it.
