Overcoming Betrayal & Addiction

Rape, Childhood Neglect, and Getting Stuck in the Addiction


Listen Later

Rob and Tami answer this week’s burning questions. Can you forgive an addict who has raped someone? This is a tough situation to be for anyone, but Rob and Tami share their thoughts on what it means to have a second chance. They also answer questions about childhood neglect, and why it’s so heartbreaking to see an addict with so much potential choose their addiction over their family/friends/their life.

 

TAKEAWAYS:

[0:50] Is it too late to see the good in an addict, even if they raped someone?

[3:25] Forgiveness is what you do for yourself, not for the other person.

[6:15] Recovery is all about honesty.

[8:20] My addict keeps acting out with very successful women. Is this need for approval connected to childhood neglect?

[13:45] Why do addicts keep getting stuck in their addiction?

[18:40] How do you discern misogynistic behavior vs. sex addiction?

[21:00] Why do some men have to get the attention of any pretty girl that walks by?

[26:00] What do healthy men do, on a normal day?

[28:50] Why is it important to not sleep around so often?

[35:00] 95% of all self-help books are bought by women! Men think they’ve already got it figured out.
