Long Term Acceptance:
by David C. Bissette, Psy.D.
One of the most difficult things to accept about sex addiction is the long term nature of it. Every person who has an addiction resists the idea that an addiction to drugs, alcohol, or sex lasts for a lifetime. Early in recovery addicts often "test" themselves during a good period of time to see if "the addiction is still there." Their hope is that they are "cured forever." They feel that having an addiction forever is such bad news that they can't accept it. It feels humiliating and discouraging. Fair enough. It's not a fun thing to believe.
