Musing on Sex Addicts' Blogs

I've been reading some other sex addiction blogs, which I found very interesting. I found it interesting how the addiction is always coupled with justifications and excuses. In the end, it's just terrifying to leave the familiar. My mind is addicted because it doesn't like vulnerability. It doesn't trust it. Further, it's interesting that all the recovering sex addicts in the blogosphere rely on therapy, which is something I refuse to do. My destructive addiction currently is with pornography and masturbation. It can be a pretty bad cycle.

It's just really important to recognize that recovery is difficult. And I will have to put constant effort into doing so, usually much much more than I would like. I just need to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Easier said than done. But give myself some credit. I don't want to throw my life away. Or do I?

What did you expect?
