We are wired for struggle

Hey L, As you may know, one thing we always emphasize to those struggling with porn and sex addiction is that their issues are generally more about emotional survival than a lack of moral fiber. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly moral considerations to our poor sexual decisions. But, usually the main driver behind our poor choices is a desire to avoid, escape, or detach from the difficulties we experience because of life's various challenges. This is why relapses often happen when people feel emotionally off-balance. This might be why psychologist Sam Owen says: "Negative emotional states are a breeding ground for mistakes." But why is this, and how can we better tailor our recovery strategies and interventions given this reality? Well, that is the subject of this week's post. So, check it out and let us know what you think in the comments.
