Typically, someone in the group will offer a topic relative to their journey in sexual addiction recovery, and the group will discuss it. Each share begins with the person's first name, first initial of his last name, and "I'm a sex addict" Most shares last 2-3 minutes.​ •  Participation in our discussion time is open to everyone. In this meeting, we use the word "I" instead of "you" when sharing about recovery. We address our sharing to the whole group, not to one or more individuals. We avoid mentioning specific names or places associated with our acting out behavior. In order to provide a safe environment for everyone, we avoid cross-talk in our meetings. Cross-talk is interrupting someone when they are sharing, commenting on what someone shares, talking to someone directly in the meeting, or referencing what someone has said in this or another meeting. We also avoid excessive detailing of our acting-out behaviors. And remember, our focus remains on the solution rather than the problem.
