About Jay
Little bit about myself and what I hope to accomplish with this. I’m a recovering sex addict. (Technically I’m a lust addict, the underlying drive behind addictive sexual behaviors) I’ve been in recovery for 5 and a half years now. I feel called to share my experience and the things that I have learned to help other men start the process of recovery from Sex addiction.
I used sex as a solution to all the inner pain that I had inside. It was my escape, my way to feel better about myself. What I never realized until I started my recovery was that it was just temporary relief and that I needed more and more to get my fix, similar to other addictions only this one was internal. Based on society as well, it was tough to realize I even had a problem because its promoted and like back in the 20s before AA, it isn’t considered a problem.
For me it was a problem. It dominated my thoughts and my life, It was my #1 focus and priority. It almost destroyed and ended my marriage among other things. It formed the way that I viewed women form an early age. (nothing more than objects). And more than likely had I not gotten help, my life would not be where it is today, it is healthier, for the most part peaceful, and fully honest and transparent with the wife with nothing left hidden in the shadows.
I went from a broken, hurt, and secretive person to someone who now talks about and tries to work through painful feelings and emotions and uses healthy outlets to deal with the pain and brokenness.
I experienced a glimpse of God’s love and it has turned my life around. I used to stand for how I felt in the moment, but now I stand for what’s right and what is true. I’m not the master of the world, God is. There is a higher standard that I need to live by and follow.
The main thing that I hope can help with this blog is to help give you hope that there is light on the other end of this dark tunnel. It’s not going to be an easy road to trudge down, but it’s one really worth fighting for.
Once you realize that you have a problem and you need help, this is a great place to start.
I hope to be able to share what I have learned to help you out on this journey. Everyone has a different experience, everyone learns and processes information differently, and everyone is unique. Take what you think you’ll be able to apply to your life and use it on this journey of recovery.
God Bless.
What I hope to accomplish
I hope to become another resource in your journey towards recovery. Hopefully some of the things that I share are able to help you in your search for God, Peace, and Joy. If you are anything like me there is a lot of pain inside that was always covered up by lust. I hope to help uncover that pain and bring it to the light and help you on your healing journey.
I am new to hosting a website. So also please forgive me as I work on figuring out how to navigate and improve this as I go!
