Dr. Rob and Tami discuss whether a listener is truly living a sober life. The listener asked if it’s okay to m********e to pictures of their own body now that they’re sober from porn. Dr. Rob weighs in on his interesting thoughts on the matter. Dr. Rob also answers questions about when is a good time to initiate intimacy with a SA, and much more.
TAKEAWAYS:
[:45] My addict is doing “borderline” sketchy behavior but hasn’t actually done anything or crossed a line. Should I be mad?
[7:10] I’m a female SA in recovery and now I get off to pictures of my own body. Is this normal?
[12:40] My SA is new to recovery. Is now a good time to challenge him on different ways we can create intimacy without sex?
[21:50] I’m not ready to tell our immediate family about his addiction. Should we ever tell them?
[26:45] I started watching porn when I was 8. I think I am a heterosexual, but I am not sure. How do I know for sure?
[30:00] How long will it take my addict to “figure himself” out?
