Some years ago, though I had been a student of Christian Science for many years, I became involved in an immoral relationship with a man with whom I worked. (I had recently been divorced; he was married.) I was wholly obsessed with the thought of him. Along with the immoral behavior I began to drink. During the two years that this continued, I suffered from a heart condition that threatened my life.

Prior to this time I had been attending services at my branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and had been a teacher in the Sunday School. But now I withdrew from teaching, and constant guilt and self-condemnation kept me from attending the Sunday and Wednesday services.

During this time I would resolve to end the relationship, only to find that the attraction overwhelmed the resolve. Many arguments came, such as "I'm only human!" and "How can I not feel the attraction when we work in the same office?"
