These definitely are fragile and difficult situations. There is help, hope and healing available for both those who struggle with addiction and for their family members. Often family members don’t have the capacity at first to respond well because, especially for spouses, there can be what is called betrayal trauma ignited upon learning about the addiction. There many resources available to help women work through that. We have a link in the sidebar for a free private forum for women in that situation, and the blog at that site has many resources.

There are so many great resources out there for overcoming addiction as well. Christ wants everyone to be able to find the healing they need, and it is a blessing to live at a time where there are practical resources available to help people’s brains heal so that their spirits and relationships can, too.

Approaching the situation of porn addiction is a very fragile process. It is important not to become angry, resentful or close minded when it comes to understanding the reasons for the addiction. It is even more important to remain respectful yet firm in suggesting help for the addiction.

So many people seem to believe, as I have at times, that because I have what’s defined as an addiction that it also means that I have absolutely no choice in the matter. There is always a choice! Your urges and desire to act out has most likely grown more powerful by virtue of reinforcing the behavior, but even in those low times we have a choice.

I love this post, thank you so much for sharing.

This is true, Casha. I’m sorry for what you have gone through.

Please stay posted for more information about what wives of addicts can do to find their own healing, regardless of the choices their husbands make.

In order for addiction recovery to be lasting, the addict needs to be truly remorseful. Sadly, my husband is neither remorseful nor serious about shaking his addiction to pornography.
