Anyone here read this book before?
Trying to get opinions from people that may have read it to determine if I should also read it.
I’m thinking of starting it after finishing the SA White Book:
Hola yo comienzo hoy con este objetivo de dejar la pornografía y la masturbación espero concretarlo

Hola @Hotcer y bienvenidos a Talking Sober. Dejar la pornografía y la masturbación lleva tiempo y requiere ayuda y esfuerzo, pero es posible.
Personalmente, tuve que cavar profundo y encontrar la base, la razón subyacente de mis malos comportamientos sexuales.
Descubrí que era más profundo que mis hábitos de masturbación. Se trataba de mi mentalidad y mi actitud, hacia mí mismo y hacia otras personas.
Recibí mucha ayuda al unirme a un programa de recuperación de adicciones al sexo. En mi caso me uní a Sexólicos Anónimos. Aquí hay información de contacto para grupos que operan en español. Hay grupos en muchos países diferentes y también hay muchas reuniones en línea. Póngase en contacto con uno de los grupos aquí y estoy seguro de que encontrará una opción para una reunión que puede visitar para obtener más información.
No te rindas. Es posible aprender a vivir y liberarse de la adicción.
Anyone here that is married that struggled with sex or porn addiction in the past?
Are you now able to have healthy sex with your spouse without any withdrawals after?
I’m going to start attending more meetings now and also looking to get a sponsor.
Thank you

I missed this post somehow. I’ve maybe shared this but let’s go anyway, lol.
I was 2 years into my recovery from PMO when I met my now-husband. I had been addicted for… almost 3 decades. Since way too young age. I had had better times but also periods when I would spend most of my free time in active addiction, going sleep deprived.
I’m grateful for that “reboot” of 2 years I had before getting together with Hubby. I still have my addictive tendencies, obviously, that’s how my brain was wired for a long time.
Anyway, I don’t get withdrawals after sex with Hubby. I’ve had to learn a whole new way for expressing my sexuality and being PRESENT in the moment with him. With PMO, I was always carried away, fantasising, disconnected from the now and from myself (I would dissociate directly after PMOing, for hours). It’s been a challenge not just being present but also participating actively. That is probably a remnant from my youth, when I was repeatedly abused sexually. I didn’t get a say what was done to me. What I’m trying to point out is that there can be a way of learning healthy, “organic” sex in a committed relationship. It requires getting out of one’s comfort zone, COMMUNICATING with the partner and staying in active recovery.

Thanks for sharing.
I believe your 2 year sober from it all definitely helped in rewiring your brain.

Me too during my active addiction, I was just never “there”. Just in my head.

My wife sex addiction is very tiring
But
I either am strong enough to handle it
Or
I’m nose blind to this situation

I need to be granted wisdom to know the difference
