I know every sexual addiction spokesperson on the planet has already jumped all over the Tiger Woods story, but at the risk of being a Johnny-come-lately, I throw in my two cents. First, if you didn’t watch the press conference, you can read the transcript on Tiger’s Web page , or watch it via YouTube . I’m not going to comment on whether I think Tiger was sincere or whether he just has good speech-writers. I don’t think there are many people who could accurately comment on that. I will say, however, his speech was a well-thought confession and acceptance of personal responsibility. Following his opening statements, Tiger states, “ I want to say to each of you, simply and directly, I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior I engaged in. ” This set the tone for the entire speech. Repeatedly he takes responsibility for his multiple affairs, calling his actions “selfish,” “foolish,” and “wrong.” He apologizes to just about every person or group of people he has offended: his wife, children, friends, staff, business partners, fans, and the parents who used to point to him as role model for their kids. “ The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior,” and Tiger adds, “ I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated. What I did is not acceptable, and I am the only person to blame. ” Yes, his speech was littered with therapeutic language, much of which I can only assume he received while in his “inpatient therapy” for 45 days. But it is so encouraging to see a celebrity make honest admissions before the world, accepting full responsibility for his actions. His candor was, in my opinion, remarkable. – – – - Feeling Entitled One of Tiger’s statements caught my attention: “I knew my actions were wrong, but I convinced myself that normal rules didn’t apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by.
