I think of all these kids who have no understanding, like I've actually had some talks with myself, as if my dad sat me down and said: you know that guy who was touching you the other day, do you know what was going on there? I remember he sat in the car and he just didn't know what to say.
Sex addiction is often shrouded in secrecy and shame, but this episode of 'Beyond Belief Sobriety' peels back the layers with a refreshing secular approach. Host John S. sits down with David S., a member of Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA), to dissect the complexities of sex addiction and recovery. David shares his personal journey, offering raw insights into the struggles of dealing with shame, fear, and societal judgment.
He doesn't shy away from discussing the emotional rollercoaster of dopamine spikes and the double standards surrounding infidelity. David also provides a peek into what happens at a typical SAA meeting, emphasizing the importance of building trust in relationships.
One striking moment in the conversation comes when David recalls, 'I think of all these kids who have no understanding, like I've actually had some talks with myself, as if my dad sat me down and said: you know that guy who was touching you the other day, do you know what was going on there?' This poignant reflection underscores the need for open dialogue about sexual addiction.
Whether you're struggling with sex addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a non-judgmental space to explore recovery beyond traditional faith-based programs.
