90 Days to Wholeness: A Porn Addiction Recovery Devotional for Womenናሙና

I have had several accountability partners throughout the years, but one has been the same since day 1. Her name is Anne and she has been my accountability partner since November 19, 2004. That was the day I confessed my addiction to another real-life person for the first time and she was the recipient.

That same day, she offered me what is called the gift of going second. Because she shared her story first, I felt safe to share my story with her. I know that you may not get that same opportunity… but you just never know. You might be the one to give the gift of going second to someone else.

Whether or not it relates to your addiction struggles, have you ever experienced the gift of going second? If so, what happened? If not, does the possibility of giving someone else the opportunity to confess give you more courage to confess yourself?
