When you get to that eighth or ninth little chime and you know somebody's liking one of your snapchat stories or instagram pictures and you can't look at it and it's killing you, that's what it feels like: to try to not succumb to your addiction, to not peel off that post-it note.
Ever wondered how addiction can silently take control of someone's life? In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Joshua Shea, a recovering pornography addict and author of 'The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About: How I Let My Pornography Addiction Hurt People and Destroy Relationships'.

He discusses the subtle signs that often go unnoticed until it's too late, and the importance of seeking help before reaching a breaking point.
