Apologies? Care to elaborate on that... ? That seems like quite a bit of progress.

We used to be together, my uh, problem messed things up.. I .. She's the only one I feel bad about doing it to .. The others were into it, but she wasn't. -shrugs- She told me that she can't forgive me just yet but that maybe one day she could forgive me but not my actions since it's not always something controllable .. -shrugs, then adds- She didn't really say it in that many words, but I've known her practically my whole life so I got what she meant.

-nods as he listens intently- One of the steps in our program incorporates apologizing to people you've harmed in the past... that's part of the community phase. I'm very impressed, Ander. Not only have you acknowledged your problem, but you've jumped ahead so quickly without my help... -nods approvingly-

-gives another shrug- It's not really hard to do when you're looking at someone you hurt everyday. -presses his lips together, not really sure how this whole thing works-

I don't really know if it's a problem? I mean, well, yeah it is, but like if it weren't so out there it wouldn't be that bad? I think it clicked after her that it was bad, so about six or so months.. But it was there before that..

Since you've began exhibiting this type of behavior. You've recognized it isn't good sexual behavior, so, when did it start?
