Dont Tell Me Im A Sex Addict, Too!

Published: March 3, 2023, 8 a.m.

In this podcast, we discuss the nature of sex and love addiction and its power over individuals afflicted with it.

We learn that:

  1. Sex and love addiction are as real as any other behaviour that is out of control and causes harm.
  2. What is different is that each person gets to define what constitutes his or her bottom-line actions that define addictive behaviour.
  3. It\u2019s impossible to wake up and become a sex and love addict. It takes (often) years of behaving in a certain pattern that involves obsession and acting out.
  4. It is only by complete surrender of one\u2019s powerlessness over the addiction that recovery can begin.
  5. Once liberated from the grip of the addiction, one can invest time once wasted selfishly on creative and altruistic pursuits.
