Booking – Sex and Relationship Therapy

When you call another addict for help, you are also helping that person.

As recovering sex and porn addicts, we are triggered almost constantly—when we walk down the street, at the mall, at work, at our kids’ soccer games, you name it. Often, this happens unexpectedly, but sometimes we can spot trouble a mile away (family gathering, work party, etc.). If we know a potential trigger is coming, we can help by calling a sponsor or a friend in recovery. During the “before” call, we agreed not to take action anymore and discussed ways to avoid relapse based on the other person’s input. The “after” call provides an opportunity to discuss what happened, the feelings that emerged, and what we might want to do differently next time.
