118. The “Root Cause” Myth of Your Sex Addiction

[gentle music] I like calling it a process addiction because it's that big, okay? That's reason number one why I'm sharing this with you, is you gotta appreciate the size of this thing or you're gonna relapse, right?

I think they were just in sobriety, right? They found a way to stop doing these things, and then they're like, "Hey, see, look at me.

I've been a year or two years or three years that I haven't done it before." But again, if you don't change the beliefs and the brain processes that drove the behavior in the first place, you are not in recovery, and I believe you are at risk of relapse.
