„Nu porn” este totusi, porn

 

„Nu porn” este totusi, porn

Pentru dependenții de pornografie, „nu porn” sunt imagini și uneori „instantanee ale minții” ale unor persoane care nu sunt nude sau implicate activ în activități sexuale – adică nu pornografie – care sunt folosite în același mod în care un dependent folosește porno. Cu alte cuvinte, un dependent de porno poate folosi „nu porno” pentru a evada într-un tărâm la-la al fanteziei sexuale – o „bulă” în care dispar stresul, plictiseala, rușinea, frica și alte forme de disconfort emoțional – așa cum a folosit anterior pornografia reală.
Când acest lucru se întâmplă în mod intenționat, cum ar fi navigarea pe Instagram pentru a vizualiza imagini fierbinți (dar îmbrăcate), dependența este vie și bine și pe deplin activă. Sigur, dependentul poate fi în recuperare cu terapie și întâlniri în 12 pași și alte grupuri de sprijin, dar, de asemenea, acţionează în continuare în dependenţa lor. Este ca un alcoolic care decide să-și controleze problema trecând de la vodcă la bere. „Dacă stau departe de lucrurile grele, sunt bine, nu?”
Greşit. Ei încă folosesc o formă de comportament care provoacă dependență pentru a crea o evadare emoțională. Despre care este dependența.

“Not Porn” Is Still Porn

 “Not Porn” Is Still Porn

For porn addicts, “not porn” is imagery and sometimes “mind snapshots” of people who are not nude or actively engaged in sexual activity—i.e., not pornography—that are used the same way an addict uses porn. In other words, a porn addict can use “not porn” to escape into a la-la land of sexual fantasy—a “bubble” in which stress, boredom, shame, fear, and other forms of emotional discomfort disappear—just as he or she previously used actual pornography.
When that happens intentionally, such as surfing Instagram to view hot (but clothed) images, the addiction is alive and well and fully active. Sure, the addict may be in recovery with therapy and 12-step meetings and other support groups, but they are also still acting out in their addiction. It’s like an alcoholic who decides to control his problem by switching from vodka to beer. “If I stay away from the hard stuff, I’m OK, right?”
Wrong. They’re still using a form of addictive behavior to create an emotional escape. Which is what addiction is all about.

In Memory of Roy K.: The Founder of Our Fellowship and a Pioneer on Our Path to Recovery.

Today, we commemorate the birthday of Roy K., the founder of Sexaholics Anonymous. Roy was not merely a sex drunk seeking recovery for himself; he was also a visionary—one who realized that his suffering was not unique and that many others like him lived in isolation and silence, searching for a way out of the tyranny of lust but finding none.

In 1979, the fellowship of Sexaholics Anonymous was born through his efforts, but it did not find its way easily. From the very beginning, Roy K. faced waves of doubt and resistance. He had to prove to the world the necessity and significance of our fellowship. Yet, he did not waver; he pressed on with unwavering determination, believing that salvation does not come through isolation but in finding companionship among those who share the same struggle and cling to the same passion for the solution. Today, decades after its founding, the fellowship has become a beacon of hope and transformation, where thousands have found a lifeline out of the bondage of lust—thanks to the efforts of Roy K. and those who believed in his sincere vision.

"I want to find my people!"—this is what Roy used to say. He laid the cornerstone of our First Step and Third Tradition, realizing that sex was merely a mirror reflecting our true illness, and that the real problem was lust. Sexual drunkenness had been a dark prison, where its inmates faced a slow death in miserable isolation.

Roy K. remained faithful to the definition of sobriety throughout his life. He never compromised on it, was passionate about the message, and sacrificed his money, time, and effort to bring the light of recovery to every lost sex drunk wandering in the jungle of lust.

On his birthday, we remember him with deep gratitude and appreciation. We move forward on his path, carrying the message of recovery and sobriety centered on God. For what he started was not merely an idea, but a revolution of hope and transformation—one that we continue together with every step toward recovery.

Inspirational story of a SA member in prison

I’m Anonymous, a recovering sexaholic, and I am making a program call.” Those easy words are a bit harder to say from the inside of a jail cell. Nevertheless, I can get current, I can reach out, I can get out of isolation by just writing this letter. Even though I am stuck in a cell 21 to 23 hours a day, I still have the tools to grow in my recovery and to have a positive sobriety by doing all I can for the sexaholic who still suffers. I can connect with my Higher Power. I accomplish this by daily Bible reading, prayer, and reading recovery materials. I attend any kind of meeting (religious, AA, etc.) whenever possible and I speak the language of recovery to my “cellie,” a recovering alcoholic. Due to the nature of my charges and due to the nature of the other individuals in “protective custody,” there is very little fellowship and very little openness. 

This contrasts so much with the honesty and camaraderie of SA meetings. Nevertheless, I choose to thrive and continue to grow along spiritual lines. Moment by moment, one day at a time, I can surrender every temptation to “numb out” or “act out” with memories or fantasies. Surrender is still the key— in here, or out there. Instead of “white knuckling” or giving in, I choose to surrender. I choose to maintain a firm bottom line. TV shows, magazines, or any memories that may be triggers are immediately surrendered. My daily
journaling is also a very useful tool. Maintaining a positive attitude, avoiding all resentments (and surrendering them if and when they come), and fostering a spirit of
gratitude are also key tools. Honestly, some days are harder, some days easier. On hard days and nights, I try to use the tools of the program. I pray for daily sobriety. Yet, I must also admit that sometimes I feel my time here is wasted and there seems to be no point to it all. But I surrender that “feeling of uselessness.” I try to focus on “the promises.” No one ever said this would be an easy path. But as I “trudge this road of happy destiny,” I can only hope that my experience can benefit others. And so I write—praying that this letter can help someone, somewhere, be sober for just one more day. Today, as I celebrate day 595 of my recovery (the last 17 in jail), I thank you, the reader, for letting me be of service. Every single person who reads or hears these word helps me be sober. So I thank you! Thank
you for bringing me out of isolation and helping me to be a part of the Fellowship.

I love you, appreciate you, and value you, my dear brothers and sisters in recovery. 

P.S. A few weeks before I entered jail, I got a sobriety chip for 18 months, and when I was released, I got my two-year chip. The Program works, if you work it, so work it, because you’re worth it!
