Sexual Addiction

Sexual activities and relationships with members of ones own sex, whether casual or intimate, are not considered to be a sign or symptom of sexual addiction. Sexual addiction is not defined by type of sexual act, by choice of sexual partner, or the sex of that partner. Sexual addiction is defined by the escalating negative consequences of sexual behaviours that are acted out compulsively and impulsively, often without regard to personal or relational consequences.

Working Around My Abyss...

"There is a deep hole in your being, like an abyss. You will never succeed in filling that hole, because your needs are inexhaustable. You have to work around it so that gradually the abyss closes. Since the hole is so enormous and your anguish so deep, you will always be tempted to flee from it. There are two extremes to avoid:being completely absorbed in your pain and being distracted by so many things that you stay away from the wound you want to heal."

Henri Nouwen

Starting again...



Well after along absence and a fit of "whatever" I have come back to my blog. In my "fit" I deleted all my previous entries but have decided to give the blog a tidy up and a new title... the same old issues are still there but hey at least I can feel as though I can move on.

As for many who know about compulsive behaviour you think that recovery is going just right and then you "fall" flat on your face and have the same issues to work through again. Some things are easier to work through but then there is also the new issues arising from the "fall". So let’s see how it goes this time round...
