Affirmations to Help You Control Your Sexual Addiction
As the sex addict absorbs themself in their addiction, they will get wrong messages from other people.
Different than the myths of porn, the lives of healthy individuals don't center on sex. We all know that sex is a crucial part of life, but it's auxiliary to loved ones, to careers and to spirituality. A sex addict misplaces their perspective about sex as a subset of closeness.
It's clear from the clinical research that extended exposure to pornography tends to lead an addict to act out sexually. What is sustained and nurtured in the mind tends to sooner or later be acted out in life.
Acting out may range from more porn to masturbation to introducing sex acts from porn into your marriage relationship to having an affair.

Once we recognize the harm that sex addiction can cause and face the fact that we are actually suffering from this dependency and recovery is something we're willing to fight through, to get well.
If we believe porn is harmless or that we don't have an addiction, these steps will seem pointless.
But if you understand you have an actual addiction and are willing to work hard to combat it - you are on your way to healing.
