“It’s my problem – I can handle it.” This is a common claim made by addicts. What many fail to realize is that it’s not just their problem – and they can’t handle it. There’s simply too much to handle. Addiction takes over a person’s life and makes them blind to what they're doing to those they love. In nearly all cases of addiction the addict will need outside support to quit.

People often confuse success and satisfaction. They’re actually quite different. Society tells us being successful involves things like money, career or academic achievements, and the quantity of our worldly possessions. But some of the most “successful” people by society’s standards are still not satisfied. This is because satisfaction with your life doesn’t come from external sources, it comes from within.

Seems very sophisticated doesn’t it? Drinking has grown into a very stylized and sexy pastime. We have even created a verb out of a noun. Cocktailing is now something you do and not something you drink. There are many dangers with this though, especially for those that battle with addiction issues. Most men are legally drunk at two cocktails and for women it's just one. When was the last time you went “cocktailing” and only had one?
If you feel like the only real sexual satisfaction you can enjoy includes porn, you are wrong. And you are missing out on one of the best parts of life. Porn can’t compare to the excitement and intimacy of sex with someone you love. If you have resigned yourself to relying upon porn for sexual gratification remember - you deserve better. And so does your partner. For more tips check us out at www.guystuffcounseling.com
