c. Openness

e. Accountability
f. Daily assurance, especially for pornography addiction
The Process For the Betrayed Spouse
a. Radical Honesty
b. Accept Responsibility
c. Openness
d. Accept Amends
e. Accountability
f. Forgiveness minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
This looks to me like a good overall road map to recovery based on everything I have read and heard in the past about adultery recovery.
