Are you trying to hold a life raft under water?
When you have a secret in your life, it takes more energy than you might think to hide it. Someone once described it to me like trying to hold a life raft under water. Imagine the energy it would take to do that! We only have so much energy in our lives. We can either use our energy in positive ways or we can use it negatively. One of the negative, and most draining, ways we can use our energy is to maintain a double life. One of the first questions that Sexaholics Anonymous asks is: Do you keep secrets about your sexual or romantic activities from those important to you? Do you lead a double life? It only makes sense that it takes twice the energy to live a double life. To live this way we’ll spend great amounts of our personal power to maintain secrecy and hide things from ourselves and others. This drains us of the power that we need to solve our problems and live happy lives. The energy we spend to hide the negativity in our lives comes at a great cost. Are you you using your energies to keep up a double life of secrecy about your use of pornography or other improper sexual behaviors? Read more
Are you poisoning your mind a little at a time?
There is an old saying that where the attention goes the energy flows. It’s a way of saying that what we do is based in what we think. As a man thinketh, so is he. The same is also true about the mind and pornography. There is a very real body-mind connection as it relates to pornography and pornography addiction. The more we constantly pour pornographic images into our minds, the more poison we add to our lives. At first it is hardly noticeable; but in time, we will witness the mind deadening and life draining outcomes in our lives. Pornography is a dead end. The more we drink in the images, the sicker we become. The sicker we become, the more our lives don’t work. The more our lives don’t work, the more destruction and chaos we leave in our wake. At some point, if we don’t stop poisoning our minds, we will self-destruct. Read more

How to control your thoughts
When you get down to it, the beginning of all problems associated with sexual addictions and compulsions begin with thoughts we carry in our minds.

Even when they are not acting out, they constantly have thoughts that are just as pornographic and lustful as the images they constantly view. While this is never a good thing, it can become a real source of frustration once one is ready to start recovery and wishes to rid themselves of these sexually impure thoughts. Today you will learn several simple ”thought stopping” mind hacks that you can use to take control of your thoughts. Read more
