LESSON

Your ritual is a key part of your porn use. Everyone has rituals for acting out, and this is one of the most important things for you to identify for your recovery. Your ritual is the starting point of the road that ends with acting out.

Another word for ritual might be “preparation.” It means anything that you do to get ready for a sexual experience, a preparation checklist so to speak.
