<description><![CDATA[Human beings are funny creatures. We are pretty smart. We've created some cool inventions and we innovate rather quickly when it's forced upon us. But sometimes we are really dense. We get an idea in our head about how things should be, and we just can't let it go. We cling to that idea and never let it die. In fact, often we would prefer to die before we let go of our unrealistic expectations. No where is the is more prevalent than when we expect someone to quickly recover from a porn addiction. We want it to be quick and painless, and we expect that recovery means the addict will never think about the old behavior again, let alone have cravings to go back.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When it comes to recovery, it should be easy. Just ask any addict that is about ready to recover. Ask the parent of the teenager who has cleaned up their act. Ask the wife of an addict who is hopeful for something different in the future. It's all so tidy and clean. We see it in the news when celebrities check into some vogue clinic and re-emerge a few weeks later looking tan and thin and happy. (Don't they always look that way?) But reality of addiction recovery is far from this perception. Especially when someone is dealing with a porn addiction.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There seems to be two polarized sides in the conversation of porn addiction. The conservative side of the conversation that wants to ban all forms of nudity, and the liberal side of the equation that argues that consenting adults should be able to express themselves however they choose. But there is a middle ground in this discussion where most people fall- and this is when someone we love has a porn addiction. All of a sudden the discussion changes. And unless both sides can meet somewhere in the middle, we won't be able to create solutions in a society where as many as 7 out of 10 men and 4 out of 5 women are affected.]]></description>

<title>New Hope for Alcoholics Put Off by the God Stuff in AA</title>

<description><![CDATA[Alcoholics Anonymous has a lot of talk about God in its 12 steps and eponymous handbook known as the Big Book. But there was no god involved in the creation of the AA program. The whole concept was built on helping each other. Bill W helped Dr Bob to get sober and then they both tried to help other drunks, but had little early success. Nevertheless the point was that in helping each other, and the joint attempt to help others, they stayed sober themselves. A great agnostic Albert Einstein said: "To help each other. That is the answer to the question 'Why are we here'." The idea that religious members can rely on a god as their greater power to guide them through the program is actually extremely dangerous. Believing that god will do the work for them, they may fail to do sufficient work in the program themselves to become contented, useful human beings. The crutch they believe in is entirely illusory.]]></description>
