What happens when love and sex become more than just parts of life, but the focal points of an addiction? In this heartfelt episode of 'Sober Sisters Talk', hosts M.G. and Elizabeth Pudwill sit down with Viviane T., who bravely shares her story of recovery from love and sex addiction. Viviane opens up about her struggles with setting healthy boundaries and seeking emotional and physical intimacy without truly knowing her partners.
Her candid reflections on using sex and emotional involvement to manipulate others paint a vivid picture of the challenges she faced. Viviane delves into how her childhood experiences, especially those involving her parents, influenced her addiction. She talks about the pivotal role of the 12-step program and the guidance of a sponsor in helping her break free from these destructive patterns.
Her journey is one of healing and self-discovery, filled with valuable lessons on staying vigilant against temptation and being mindful of character defects. The conversation doesn't stop there. The trio also explores the tricky terrain of sober dating and how addiction can ripple through family dynamics. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar issues, offering inspiration and practical advice for navigating the path to recovery.
