Kevin got sober in Sexaholics Anonymous on June 11, 2019. He was first introduced to SA in 2001 by a therapist, but he didn't know yet how to be rigorously honest, so he faded away from the Program after a few years. After HP returned him to the Program in 2018, he thought he could skip right over Steps 2 and 3 because his faith practice had already been a central focus for him since early childhood. He never expected the spiritual re-education he's received over the last five years nor the consistent spiritual experiences he now joyously receives. Today Kevin will speak to us on the role of HP in the 12 Steps.
