This is where it starts! - Sobriety - Your Recovery
Show Notes

Begin at the beginning. Many people experience some type of wounding during early development and learn to manage their emotions, but sometimes it gets the better of them. Sex addiction is not about sex. Sex is a symptom of an underlying problem. Sex is not the problem. It is a symptom and an outlet. We do not see with our eyes. We see with our brain. Want to know more; to better understand?

Get your calendar ready for the countdown; Porn-blocker is no more than an attempt at delay, but still essential; Accountability partner - the right person - with teeth! Reward & Treats - essential. Support for a partner: "What about me?" is rightly voiced - loudly.
