To grow in recovery, we must grow up emotionally. This means getting honest with ourselves and facing up to the self-defeating thoughts and actions that put our sobriety at risk. Although there are as many ways to mess up recovery as there are alcoholics and addicts, some general themes exist, which include: confusing self-concern with selfishness; not making amends; using the program to try to become perfect; not getting help for relationship troubles; and believing that life should be easy. Allen Berger explores the 12 most commonly confronted beliefs and attitudes that can sabotage recovery.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Adult children of sex addicts (ACSAs) struggle with their sexuality and longings for love. ACSAs have not had their stories told in any significant way in the recovery literature. Intergenerational trauma is transmitted through the legacy of carried sexual shame—the burden of which is not theirs. A Light in the Dark offers hope for unburdening ACSAs by sharing the experiences of others, as well as examining the characteristics, roles and recovery that point toward the freedom and joy they rightfully deserve.

Sexual addiction treatment has long focused on managing the symptoms of addiction with abstinence - a difficult challenge in a world where limitless pornographic gratification is never more than a mouse click away. A new recovery method is needed: one capable of identifying and treating the core cause of addictive behavior. TINSA is such a program.

WOW!
One line in this book that shifted everything I thought I knew...
“Men objectify women because it is easier to be rejected by an object than by a person.”

Eye opening
Honest, blunt, and non judgemental.
Was recommended to read by therapist. Reading took me down a path of self review and realisation that an uncomfortable number of items pertained to myself. Instead of disrepair the book shows the path of recovery and hope.

It’s a tough read.
If you’re someone whose thinking about reading this, know it’s rough. Not necessarily because you’ll see yourself in it, but because there are stories of child molestation. It is an insightful book though.

Much Needed Eye Opener
I was struggling with addiction and trying to overcome it blindly. After my wife told me I needed to read it I did. It helped me see my problem in ways I hadn't seen it before which allowed me to address many issues and confront many problems. I have listened to this 2 times and read the book once. Through this book I also realized the importance of 12 steps. Invaluable. wish I discovered it sooner.

Excellent discussion on sex addiction
Patrick Carnes is one of the leading experts on sex addiction and the family. As a former therapist that treated sex addiction I highly recommend this book to both the addict and family member. It’s a good book for anyone struggling with any addiction to read for help with a deeper look into addiction and recovery.

excellent presentation
this book helps those struggling with sexual addiction and the people in their lives who care about them. It also encourages empathy and understanding for social workers and those who do not understand this crippling condition.
