His mother was a military officer who was harsh and abusive. The seeds of his addiction were planted by passing increasingly erotic, handwritten notes to a girl in high school, but he didn't have sex until college. His first sexual experience resulted in a pregnancy and the birth of his now 25-year-old son.
He was a high school teacher and went through an 18-month investigation where he was accused of sexual assault by a female student. He didn't do that, but his conversations were very inappropriate. Even the grueling legal process wasn't enough to make him stop. He used social media for sexting and had sexual relationships with 26 different women while married. His staggered disclosure took 18 months.
He is a business owner and avid golfer and now has three years of sobriety. He is practicing gratitude every morning and putting in some deep work in individual therapy, marriage counseling, and Sex Addicts Anonymous to continue rebuilding his new life where he and his wife are healthier than they have ever been. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/alphaquorum/message
