I’ve been feeling a lot better. I’ve been reading a lot, both about my addiction and other somewhat related topics (including dealing with loss). I’ve also been having some great conversations with my wife. Her support is an invaluable asset to me in this journey. She might start writing here soon; we’ll see. I need to write more often.
Newlifehabits has a post about “Signs of Porn Addiction.” That’s a decent list, but everything there could easily be signs of almost any sort of emotional problem. Still a good read for someone who thinks that they or someone they care about might be addicted. They have a post about “Internet Porn Addiction” that is also worth a look. The line “an internet porn addiction will quickly rob you of your great character traits” is true, at least in my experience.
Over the weekend, I read most of In the Shadows of the Net: Breaking Free of Compulsive Online Sexual Behavior
More soon. I’ve been thinking a lot about how my addiction escalated for a while now, so I’m going to write about that.
