Description

Dr. Rob and Tami talk about some of the warning signs when an addict is trying to manipulate you in their recovery. If he is threatening suicide, if he is not listening to your boundaries, it, unfortunately, might mean it’s time to take drastic measures and kick him out of the house. Many addicts use the suicide word to purely manipulate, and often don’t have intentions of doing the act. You might feel hopeless, but it’s time to take care of yourself.   TAKEAWAYS: [1:00] I don’t think my addict has any remorse. Seems he’s in sobriety but not in recovery. What do I do? [4:55] My husband is sober for four months but has not shown any commitment to his recovery. Is there hope for him? [8:25] Belief in God is not an action! This man is trying to manipulate you and he’s breaking your boundaries. [13:55] How long does it usually take an SA to remember the things they’ve done? Do they really not remember? [20:25] As a sex addict, I always feel like my partner is going to leave me. What can I do? [23:55] I was diagnosed with OCD, does this contribute to my addiction? [27:35] How do I forgive myself for betraying my partner? I don’t want to tell her I had a slip.   RESOURCES: Seekingintegrity.com Email Tami: Tami@Seekingintegrity.com Sexandrelationshiphealing.com Intherooms.com Out of the Doghouse: A Step-by-Step Relationship-Saving Guide for Men Caught Cheating, by Robert Weiss Prodependence: Moving Beyond Codependency, by Robert Weiss Sex Addiction 101: A Basic Guide to Healing from Sex, Porn, and Love Addiction, by Robert Weiss Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men, by Robert Weiss
