But remember: relationship recovery is not the whole picture.
Don't neglect your individual recovery! We can't truly be there for a partner unless we are progressing toward personal integrity and inner wholeness.
Check out these other free online resources to boost your individual recovery... and then keep coming back here to work on your relationship.
1. Over at Feed the Right Wolf, Alex offers a great free course that will help you understand and deal with cravings. Alex admits he's no doctor and English is not his native tongue... and then he goes on to explain the power of methods like Exposure and Response Prevention better than we psychologists do. He argues for a broad and balanced approach since, in his own experience, "a combination of different methods appeared to be bringing the optimal result."
2. Check out New Life Habits when you have time for a feast... or keep going back for quick snacks. You'll find practical entries like how to create your own rehab and thought provokers such as you'd better learn to enjoy your new life if you expect to keep it.
3. For years I've been referring people to Joe Zychic's work over at SexualControl.com. Look there for great insights on why willpower alone is doomed to fail and how to cultivate a deeper and more sustaining motivation for change. His work will convince you that addictive sex is no match for genuine loving sex in a real relationship.
On all of these sites, comments from other visitors are sometimes the most helpful and inspiring. You'll leave knowing you're not alone!
