Addiction as a brain problem and train-track analogy

In today's episode, Kylene and Patrick share several experiences to anticipate as you navigate initial sobriety from porn or sex addiction patterns including:

• Dreams and Intrusive Thoughts
• Uncomfortable Emotions
• Nocturnal Emissions
• Alternative coping mechanisms or behaviors 

They discuss the importance of choice through sobriety, how deep recovery means living a life making conscious choices vs falling into the belief that life just happens to you.   They also share some basic techniques to help in the moment of stress in order to feel more grounded, become more present, and step into conscious choice.   They mentioned the Intrusive Thoughts Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-sex-addiction-support-betrayal/id1674653111?i=1000652006011   and the Faster Scale which they discuss in more detail in this episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-sex-addiction-support-betrayal/id1674653111?i=1000658758308
