Today is a new day. Yesterday was hard. Beck isn’t doing very well right now. A large part of it is due to an article she read by a “psychologist” from BYU that basically said pornography isn’t that big of a deal, isn’t an addiction, and just needs to be used responsibly. He also said […]

The Power of Digging & Digging to Discover Core Negative Emotions
Yesterday was a good day overall. However, as I ended work I had some feelings that I didn’t even realize until later. Here’s the experience: Beck had mentioned that she was excited for the evening because we didn’t have any commitments and could just relax (at least that’s what I thought she meant). I worked […]

Dealing with Physical Pain While Working Recovery
I feel really crappy today. I’m not 100% sure what I did to my back, but I haven’t felt this much pain in I don’t know how long. I think it had to do with going paddle boarding the other day – I used muscles that I haven’t used for a long time and didn’t […]
Discussion: Overcome vs. Surrender a Sexual Addiction
This topic has been on my mind off and on for quite some time, especially after attending LDS ARP meetings. I often hear some of my fellows say things like, “I know I can overcome this addiction,” or “I know that if I read my scriptures more and pray more, I will overcome this.” Unfortunately, […]
Dealing with Negative Emotions through Tools of Recovery
Another hard discussion with Becky last night has me feeling the affects this morning. I went to play ball early today and that was good to get out and run a bit, but overall I didn’t feel great there either. Our talk last night was really hard for a few reasons: I felt the pain […]
Another Day to Surrender to God
It’s a new day. I feel better this morning. Yesterday was difficult from an emotions standpoint. I don’t know how to act or what to do when it comes to sexual health. Beck and I talked about it a bit last night and I assured her I wasn’t mad at her at all – just […]
The Ongoing Work of Full Disclosure
I just finished working on my full disclosure document, which is never fun. I also had a tough talk with Beck this morning about something our therapist said to her after her meeting recently with him. He told her that we should probably not have sex as much in the future and that that part […]
