Happy Thanksgiving everybody! We feel thankful today for the gift of sobriety and for the countless kind souls who have supported our recovery. Stay sane and grateful today folks.

Hi Everyone. If this site goes down, you we will be moving to Mastodon. Will post our handle soon, but if we don't get it done in time, come find us there.

Important new work on treating compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD). The World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry guidelines on the assessment and pharmacological treatment of compulsive sexual behaviour disorder tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

This includes struggling with compulsive porn use and other #behavioraladdiction.

This is intriguing. Would your porn use drop if someone neutral (not a significant other) gave you feedback about your time on adult sites?

The online world offers diverse risks for people susceptible to behavioral #addiction. For many who struggle, it's not the content (porn, gaming, gambling, etc.) so much as the all-consuming process — feeling one with or lost in the screen— that is the "drug".

Turkish study: Rather than simply dictating rules for internet use, "it is more beneficial [for parents] to decide together with the adolescent how and how much the adolescent should use the internet, and to teach and encourage him or her to use the internet consciously."

Translation: issues like binge eating and problem porn use can go together, especially in guys. If you fit that profile, help is available. #YouAreNotAlone

Good example of how the official recognition of compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) in ICD-11 has opened new avenues of promising research. Here, CSBD and binge eating disorders (BED) found to share commonalities and to occur together (comorbidity), especially in men.

@waseemjafxx Fantastic! One day at a time.

@PornHelpdotorg I'm on 308 days! 😊

A perspective anyone in recovery can embrace.

A 2019 survey found that 51% of children aged 11-13 said they had been exposed to porn, with some being exposed as young as 7. The sad truth is your child doesn’t have to try and “find” porn, because sooner or later — porn will find them.

Not necessarily surprising findings, but worth noting just the same as we begin to absorb the impact of the pandemic on how we relate to the internet. COVID-19 pandemic impact on internet use behaviors | PRBM @DovePress dovepress.com/how-has-the-co…
