The cycle of addiction is a vicious cycle. It’s like flushing our lives down the toilet.
Sex and porn addicts share certain traits. One of those common traits is that we tend to obsess over sex and romance. As a result, we neglect important aspects of our lives. We lose interest in family relationships and friendships. We become disconnected from hobbies and activities we previously enjoyed. We neglect basic aspects of self-care, like eating healthy foods, going to the gym, or getting enough sleep. Work loses its importance, and we get reprimanded, passed over for promotions, or fired. We become socially and emotionally isolated. We become disconnected from reality. And we don’t act on these obvious problems, so our lives continue to go downhill.
