In this podcast, we discuss the nature of sex and love addiction and its power over individuals afflicted with it.
We learn that:
- Sex and love addiction are as real as any other behaviour that is out of control and causes harm.
- What is different is that each person gets to define what constitutes his or her bottom-line actions that define addictive behaviour.
- It’s 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.
- It is only by complete surrender of one’s powerlessness over the addiction that recovery can begin.
- Once liberated from the grip of the addiction, one can invest time once wasted selfishly on creative and altruistic pursuits.
