PAA Meetings

Back to the Basics of Recovery

Session 1: Steps 1, 2 and 3

Bring something to write with — paper or a computer both work. In session one every attendee is matched with a sharing partner, and together we take Steps 1, 2 and 3.

Steps covered in this session

  1. We admitted we were powerless over pornography—that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God.

Your primary obligation is to attend all four sessions in order to take the Twelve Steps and offer encouragement and moral support to your partner. The conditions for being a sharing partner are: to be actively involved in your own Twelve-Step recovery; to be willing to listen to what your partner has to say; and to keep everything that is shared strictly confidential.
