A Principle Of Growth:
No matter where you or your loved one is on the path of addiction recovery, growth of the mind is vital. Education encourages our sense of curiosity, opens us up to new ways of understanding ourselves, and can be the difference between accessing the information necessary to heal and falling back into despair and addiction. When we say education we mean engaged learning, not necessarily deep book study or worksheets. Very simply, growing our mind is a foundation for addiction recovery. While this principle does not require the content of growth to be exclusively addiction recovery focused, we hope that you will find a passion for the information accessible through this page. It will become for you handles with which to carry the burden of recovery for years to come! Through this great learning, we can access hope for our future.
Book Recommendations
Most of our list is curated from the large pool of Christ centered content available about sexual addiction. However, you will find some works that take a secular view. These are "classics" in addiction recovery, and we ask you to have spiritual discernment as you read and grow. In addition, we have some works that lean more towards spiritual formation and growing themes which we believe to be of as much or even more value than addiction specific works. We hope these works bring aid to your healing!

Practical Tools For Addiction Recovery
Sexual addiction can be a complicated battleground! Below you will find a series of exercises and worksheet that put practical steps to many of the healing tasks that Warfare of Grace has identified as critically important. These tools will help you to build a lifestyle of healing and give you excellent thinking for your recovery journey. This process is long, but it can be beautiful as we heal the way God intended! We know these tools can bring you aid.
The Sexual Addiction Screening Test is a way for you to know with clinical certainty whether or not you are at risk for sexual addiction. If you're not sure whether all this healing stuff is for you, or whether or not you need help, take this test and find out for yourself. While it may prove surprising, in the end you will be better prepared to make decisions about your healing moving forward.
The FASTER Relapse Awareness Scale is a mapping tool for your personal relationship with your unwanted sexual behavior. By using this tool regularly you will begin to see how you get where you are going. No longer will you wonder, "how did I get here?" Instead, you will be able to see the danger coming and return to a right path before the addiction becomes overwhelming.
This double bind can be used for analyzing your commitment to change, preparing for a difficulty in the coming week, coming out of the haze of wanting to act out, and more. Check out this tool as a way to clarity your thinking when you are unsure what to decide!
What do you do when you have just acted out your unwanted sexual behavior? It's so easy in those times to feel defeated. Shame begins to set in. But what if those moments could be a victory? While it's definitely better to not act out our unwanted sexual behaviors, the victory worksheet is a way for you to receive the truth about God's love for you and lead you to a practical repentance that you really mean. The reversal is an awesome experience and stops the enemy from holding onto you any longer.
Lectio Divina (Holy Reading) Devotion Formation Guide
Do you want your Bible study to stick? Do you want it to make it's way to your heart, but don't know how? The classic Christian practice of lectio divina is a long known and effective way to make sure you are receiving the truth of God's word into your soul. With a little practice, you can open your heart up to His word in a way you have likely never experienced before. This direct interaction with God is the single most powerful weapon of war that we have.
Our minds can run away with us. This simple tool can help us to identify what is going on in our mind and apply the truth of God in confusing headspaces. In doing so, we train our body to respond to truth and learn to be ok with some of the discomfort that we feel when we know that we have done rightly. If you have been using the TFTE for a while and understand the ins and outs, we have a single page version for your convenience!
Being Present Practice
Our body contains patterns, energy and pain that that do not understand in the early stages of recovery. In truth, it can take years to unpack all the pain that we carry around with us. Being Present Practice is a way for us to calm ourselves down when our body feels like it will lose control. It balances us. For the addict, this becomes the bread and butter of dealing with flare ups of desire.
Belief Discovery Tool
Ever wonder why it feels like you are fighting yourself to get out of this addiction? That's because you are. The brain has multiple places where beliefs can reside. This process will help you to get down to the root beliefs that govern your actions.
