This addiction takes hold and you may not have the tools to deal with it. That was happening and people need to understand that.
Pornography addiction is often brushed under the carpet, but Joshua Shea isn't afraid to bring it into the open. In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery Innovators Radio', Shea recounts his journey from a seemingly perfect life to one overshadowed by a hidden addiction. Despite having a loving family and a successful career, Shea found himself ensnared by the lure of online pornography, a habit that quickly spiraled out of control.
He candidly shares how this addiction can be just as devastating as alcohol or drugs, often destroying lives in silence. Shea discusses the critical need to recognize the signs of this addiction, the importance of seeking help, and the mental health challenges intertwined with compulsive sexual behavior. He also delves into the complexities of recovery, including retraining neural pathways and the difficult conversations around the sex offender registry.
This episode isn't just about Shea's story; it's a call to acknowledge and address an addiction that many are reluctant to talk about. Whether you're battling this addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, Shea's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical advice for navigating the road to recovery.
