Dr. Rob and Tami talk about how you can help someone when they refuse to see themselves as an addict. Dr. Rob has unfortunately seen this happen with recovering addicts, who one day have a revelation that they’re not an addict, they’re just ‘sexually librated’. Dr. Rob and Tami also talk about the difference between casual porn use vs. when it’s a problem, and ho to handle shame and guilt when you’re on a path to recovery.

[19:20] How do you know the difference between casual porn use vs. addiction-level porn use? [22:20] As a betrayed partner, when can we have sex again? [26:15] I always feel shame and guilt after sharing in meetings. What can I do? [29:55] Your best thinking is what got you here in the first place. [31:00] Addiction is just a symptom. Therapy helps you get under the service, but not everyone can afford it.
