Managing Risk in Addiction Recovery: Finding Your Red Zone… and Sanity

In today's broadcast of Sex Afflictions & Porn Addictions, I am going to answer the most common question I get and one of the most popular questions I see asked on the web - and it's the holy grail question - Am I A Porn Addict?If you already know, visit https://www.themindfulhabit.com to get free training and learn more about our programs. We are going to talk about why that's the wrong question; and I'm going to give you a series of true or false questions that you can use to help you assess the impact of your behavior.As you listen to the porn addiction quiz, I want to share a little bit about my story. I personally spent decades exclusively and obsessively focusing on the behavior that I DIDN’T want to do (porn and prostitutes) through a combination of 12 step programs, traditional therapy, and counseling.It didn’t work for me. I was stuck. I failed time and time again.My life changed in a big way though when I started to focus on habits, mindfulness, and ACTION – aggressively pursuing what I DID want to do. If you are on this page, you are likely trying to figure out if you have a problem and if my programs are right for you.If that’s the case I encourage you to focus on the IMPACTs and RISKs produced by your behavior. My programs are action oriented and goal centric so this is a great place to start.Answer to yourself these two questions before you start the quiz: IMPACT – how are your sexual habits (porn, camming, etc.) impacting critical parts of your life like relationships, career, finances, health, and hobbies; andRISK – what risks are your sexual habits creating in your life – for example, is porn threatening your relationship or career?Here's a link to my video where I share the "cure" for sex addiction and porn addiction http://www.themindfulhabit.com/the-cure-for-sex-addiction-and-porn-addiction/

Learning is critical if a partner of a sex addict wants to heal from Betrayal Trauma and move forward - with or without their partner.

There are two vital differences between fear-based trauma and betrayal trauma: The perpetrator is in a close bond with the victim and recidivism (of trauma) risk is high (not necessarily acting out). There are many symptoms of betrayal trauma that are normal for people to experience. Healing from betrayal trauma takes commitment to self, self-care, and the desires to grow through the trauma. And for most people, expert help.
