Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My husband is a sex addict. he disclosed his sex addiction about 6 weeks ago. He is going to SA groups, counseling and reading SA material. He is very moody and at times will say he can t do this , its to hard, its easier to just be an addict, then after anywhere from 10 min to 1day he is back to a normal self and says he wants to control the addiction and not be controlled by the addiction. I m so confused..I m not sure what is normal...any info out there that I can read to learn what his early recovery looks like?
[|AI|]  Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Sex addiction in a sense is not an addiction at all. Sex in itself is a natural process and excess may cause momentary physical weakness. Mental disorders such as anxiety is due to over thinking / over worrying about the habit. A habit is a habit, your husband knows that. Worrying about any habit causes anxiety. The more people are involved in work, the less they get time to be in sexual activities. That is the proper solution. Motivate your husband to concentrate on his career. If you need more of my help in this regard, Please post a direct question to me on this port with every possible details. I shall provide you with Cognitive Behavior Therapy steps which should clear the problems. Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
