They are insidious, don't play by the rules and definitely don't play fair. We are talking about Cognitive Distortions. What are they?

They are your thinking, telling you untruths to enable you to justify acting out and therefore relapse. You stay on the cycle of sex addiction:

Cycle of Sex Addiction

This is all taking place at the Preparation Stage. You are 10 minutes from acting out, unless you can see the Cognitive Distortion that is threatening your sobriety. Act now or it will be pain in"the morning after the night before".       

Find them, expose them, acknowledge them, learn from them and you will have moved them from the unseen (the unconscious) into the visible (the conscious). That now gives you possibilities to fight back and take other action.
