Fantasizing about another person may seem like a harmless indulgence, but it actually draws us closer to temptation and can increase the risk of being unfaithful. In the same way that dwelling on worries and possible catastrophes fuels anxiety and makes fears more vivid, immersion in fantasy can enhance, rather than quench, our longings. Tune in to our episode to find out ways to circumnavigate fantasy based thinking to help fortify your recovery.

For many addicts, eroticized rage shows up as a contributing factor in sexual addiction. Tune in and listen to what we have to say about eroticized rage and help you to understand how anger and rage feed into you addiction and what you can do to work through it. We will also discuss the components behind these emotions and how it plays out in your relationships.

In early recovery, it can often feel as if you are doing what you have to do and not necessarily what you want to do. Even if you want the benefits that come with putting your addiction behind you, it is not an easy process to get there. If you do not have a clear idea of what you want to happen, you won’t be able to convey what you need to someone else. If you recognize that there is a problem, or you are feeling uncomfortable and you want that to change, consider some of the different ways you would like to see changes made and ask for those things specifically. Tune in to see what our addicts have to say.

Many of us struggle and would like to introduce ourselves in some ‘prettier,’ more affirming way than ‘I’m a sex addict,’ but we find that we need to face that reality daily lest we deceive ourselves into believing that we somehow can manage on our own.
