There are certain times in life that we cannot help but feel completely present for. Climbing a sheer rock wall. Jumping into a body of frigid water. Learning to juggle. Exerting ourselves close to our maximum physical capacity. Fighting someone who wants to hurt us. Kissing someone whom we have...

So you’ve been keeping the reality of your porn-induced sexual dysfunction to yourself, and you want to get it off your chest to a special someone in the hope that she will be understanding and supportive of your recovery.
But you’re terrified.

This is a story about rock bottom. Rock bottom is a different place for every person, and it can only...
One of the factors that can make a huge difference in addiction recovery is the quality of support and accountability that you develop in your life. Many people who compulsively use drugs, alcohol, gambling, sex, or porn try for a long time to control or cease their behavior alone. They hide or...
