Start Today on Your Pathway to Healing
If you are looking at this website, you may be wrestling with the problem of sexual addiction or are close to someone who is. If you are, this doesnt mean you are weak, perverted or hopeless. It means you may have a disease, an obsession from which many have healed. It also doesnt mean you are one of a lonely few. Experts estimate there are 18 million sex addicts in this country, or up to six percent of the population. But there is hope and peace to be found. Freedom from sex addiction can be a reality. Pathways to Healing will help you to restore your life and the relationships that are most important to you.
It Is Possible to Recover from Pornography and Sexual Addiction
Many attempts are made to stop the addictive behavior by the addict. These attempts frequently end in shame, feeling defeated and weak. Partners also attempt to control the addiction and wonder if it is possible for their loved one to recover. They also wonder if the relationship can be healed. We have found that those who remain committed can live a life of recovery. Through dedication and hard work, a life freedom from addiction is possible and relationships can begin to heal.
We Can Help
If you have reached the moment where you know that your sexual behavior is out of control, Pathways to Healing can help. Our program is based on years of research conducted by Dr. Patrick Carnes, who takes techniques used with thousands of recovering sex addicts and uses them to teach, step by step, how to break free from the stronghold of addiction and make your life better.
Decades of research and clinical experience have shown that breaking recovery down into defined tasks makes it easier to leave the addictive life. As recovering people perform these tasks, they learn specific competencies with which to manage their problems. Together, these skills form a map for success. If they follow the map, they will reach the end goal of recovery. If not, they will end up back in the grasp of addiction.
Beginning the Process Takes Courage
IN ONE OF THE BEGINNING SCENES of J.R.R. Tolkiens great epic, Lord of the Rings, the wizard Gandalf challenges the hobbit Frodo to bring back peace to the land by returning the magic ring back to the land of Mordor. The return of the ring is the key to freedom from the tyranny of the evil magician Sauron. Gandalf holds out the ring for Frodo to accept the quest. Frodo feels a penetrating chill, which he immediately knows has been sent from Mordor to distract him from accepting the challenge. This evil sent by Sauron is designed to paralyze Frodo and render him incapable of responding to Gandalf. He musters all the courage he can and slowly raises his hand to accept the ring. He hears his own voice, though it seems far away. He says to Gandalf, I will take the ring although I do not know the way. Then begins Frodos great quest that brings so much good to so many.
All the great stories of human courage start with the hero or the heroine not knowing how to do it, but starting anyway. So it is with recovery. The people who succeed are the ones who start even though they do not know the way. Part of the benefits of the quest is they learn as they do it. The point is, they start by taking action.
