Wrong Thoughts – Sex and Relationship Repair

Addiction is the cause of our unhappiness, not the solution.

As active sex and porn addicts, we rarely view our escapist sexual fantasies and behaviors as the cause of our unhappiness and life challenges. Even when we are mired in the consequences, we don’t allow ourselves to think of our sexual behaviors as contributing factors. In fact, we often view our behaviors as solutions to emotional discomfort and various life problems, rather than as causes. When life gets tough on us, our addictions seem like the only reliable way out of it. We continue this unhelpful pattern until a crisis hits—and sometimes even after that crisis, we persist in our addictions.
