Addiction is addiction, and I love that we got to talk tonight and that other people are bringing us up with you as well and asking questions.
Ever felt like you were living a double life? Jace Downey sure did. For 15 years, she struggled with sex addiction, feeling trapped in a cycle of self-destruction and misery. Despite devouring self-help books and consulting multiple therapists, nothing seemed to click. The despair grew so intense that she even considered ending her life. But a pivotal question stopped her in her tracks: Could sex addiction be as damaging as drug addiction, given its similar effects on the brain?
This query sparked a journey of research and self-discovery that ultimately saved her life. In this episode of The SHAIR Podcast, hosted by Omar Pinto, Jace opens up about her harrowing experience with sex addiction.

Through step recovery programs and a lot of soul-searching, she found a way out of the darkness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction or seeking to understand it better.
It's an eye-opening conversation that sheds light on a topic often shrouded in stigma and silence. Join Omar and Jace for an inspiring dialogue that underscores the importance of empathy, education, and support in the road to recovery.
