Working the MaterialsIn recovery, you are responsible for making progress in your books. We do not do the work in the group meetings. The Final Freedom is a text book that provides an excellent overview on sexual addiction the related spiritual and clinical issues with the addiction as well as recovery. 101 Freedom Exercises is designed to accompany the 12 Steps to Freedom workbook. These two workbooks are to be done in tandem. The coordination of the two books is summarized below. Exercises correspond to each of the 12 Steps in the recovery process.

One of the fundamental tenets of recovery is to maximize effort and outcome on each exercise and step in the recovery process rather than “go through the motions” to get it done. This is one of those situations where those that put forth the most effort get the most benefit.
