Support Groups
Close Families & Friends Of Addicts
I am the partner of a PA addict. He was in denial and I used to accept the little commitment he seemed to have around quitting. I finally realized that I was in denial (as much as he was)and have given him an ultimatum. We are both in recovery.
Treatments
- Patience Somewhat Helpful
- I am in "let it be" or "wait and see" mode. It is a difficult space to be in sometimes but it is working ~for now.
- Psychotherapy Considering
- We went in the past but I don't think the counsellor was right for us as a couple. Starting to think it might be a good idea.
- Talking Working / Worked
- We are getting much more effective in our communication. He is not having emotional upsets as frequently (seems to be getting a handle on the emo maturity). As long as we are in communication I feel that progress is being made.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Writing down my thoughts and feelings is a way of expressing them without dumping on another. I find it can be quite therapeutic but then sometimes I find it perpetuates a negative cycle (if that is the space I already am in)
Close Sex / Pornography Addiction
I am the partner of a PA. In the past I accepted his feeble attempts to quit and have recently realized my own denial around this. I get my contribution (through denial) and I have given him an ultimatum. I will only stand for him if he is serious about quitting and taking visible and measurable action to quit. We are both in recovery programs.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- As difficult as it is to do sometimes (for both of us), talking about the addiction with my husband is actually proving to be helpful. It is a good indicator of how he is doing (if he is open he's doing ok, if he is withdrawn, something is up).
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- It is good to put it out there instead of keeping it in my head. It provides a sense of release.
- Psychotherapy Considering
