Healing from Pornography and Sex Addiction: Embracing Step Three

We have to move from me by myself in my pride and my fear and my shame. And I have to admit, as step one says, I will never overcome this by myself, ever.
Rick and Christine Dixon host a deeply moving episode on the Family Addiction Recovery Podcast, tackling the often-hidden struggles of pornography and sex addiction. This episode shines a light on the power of Step Three and the importance of faith in the recovery journey. Guests Terry and Lindsay Allred share their personal experiences, discussing how pornography impacted their past relationships and how their recovery efforts are now fortifying their marriage.
They also talk about their role in facilitating an online Couple's Recovery Group for Renaissance Ranch Addiction Treatment Centers, offering support and hope to others on similar paths. Mark Kastleman, a seasoned counselor specializing in sex and pornography addiction, joins the conversation to provide practical tools and insights. He shares his own story of overcoming a 32-year addiction, emphasizing the significance of accountability and the 12-step process in achieving long-term success.
This episode doesn't shy away from the tough topics—betrayal, rejection, and shame are all discussed candidly. The Dixons and their guests highlight the crucial role of family education classes in fostering understanding and healing within families affected by addiction. Rick Dixon poignantly reminds listeners, 'We have to move from me by myself in my pride and my fear and my shame'.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope, understanding, and practical advice on navigating the complexities of pornography and sex addiction.
