If you suspect that your partner, someone you love and trust most in the world, is hiding a secret life as a sex addict from you, it can be devastating and traumatizing. The world can feel like it’s crashing down around you. Many partners of sex addicts have been fooled by the promises made by the addict even late in recovery, and find themselves starting the process all over again. The broken promises, the secrets and discoveries, the continuous lying—either deliberately or by omission—can be the most debilitating aspects of sex addiction.

Sex Addiction affects the whole family. Often the addict lives a double life. The addict lives two lives; a public life (family, friends and work) and a private life that he keeps secret. The secret life has become a sort of friend for the addict. Anytime he/she is stressed or bored they turn to their trusty friend sex addiction to cope. They get caught up in the cycle of addiction. Stress or boredom leads to sex seeking behaviors, which leads to acting out sexually, which leads to remorse, shame, and fear of being found out which leads to more stress or numbing out (boredom) and the cycle begins again. The addict may have tried to quit always going back for more. The problem is that the shame feeling actually keeps the sex addict in the addiction cycle.  Teresa Maples Certified Sexual Addiction Expert says, I teach people to tell their story. Often I am the first person they have ever told that they had been molested as a child. Research has shown, most addictions are a result of some trauma a person endured as a child. Telling the story of the trauma is healing. I developed a blog called “couples thrive” to address the issues surrounding couples and sex addiction.

John and Elaine, in their journeys through recovery, have learned that to simply regret their past misbehavior does nothing to help insure that the misbehavior will not occur again.  In fact, one of the lessons recovery has taught them is that the person I was will fall again.  They have found that this principal seems to hold true in all areas of life, including romantic relationships.  That is to say that the individual who finds himself/herself ending up repeatedly at an undesirable point in their romantic relationship(s) time and again should look for the common denominator: him or her.  If they desire the relationship to change he/she should look no further than to start with himself/herself.  Join John and Elaine Leadem as they discuss how to break old patterns  and learn the necessary steps  that keeps a relationship healthy and forward moving!
