Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a postulated form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other sexual behavior.
I've considered writing a journal entry on this topic for a while and thought I'd just put it out there with hope that someone might benefit. I'm very clear what I did probably won't work for some but for some it may, so it's worth writing. First a little background. I grew up in a home where there were copious amounts of physical, sexual, emotional and spiritual abuse. This en...
Of late I've become somewhat obsessed with trying to live in the present....even to understand what that even means. Something happened today I found rather remarkable. A friend of mines daughter is getting married tomorrow at a location around three hours from my home. Today I packed up my stuff and headed down to stay in a nice Bed and Breakfast I had booked. I got approximately a hour down...
I finally talked with my youngest this morning when I called to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. I talked to both of my boys, my ex's mother and grandmother. I was also trying to be nice and was going to wish my ex a Happy Thanksgiving. I guess that was a bad idea. She was taking a shower, her mom knocked on the door and was like Rob called to wish everyone a Happy Than...
This, I think, is an odd journal entry but for some reason today I wanted to express gratitude. I sometimes, if fact a lot of the time, believe "life" is what we "choose" to focus on..as I struggle to make sense of who I am and what my life means and how "abuse" has shaped and formed almost everything about me....I find I am usually focused on what was "wr...

WHERE DO I GO WHEN I AM FEELING LOW? IS THERE A PLACE WHERE I CAN FEEL SAFE? SAFE FROM PAIN AND DAYS FULL OF RAIN. IT IS IN A PLACE IN MY MIND WHERE I CAN GO AND FIND MY OWN FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE TO CHANGE MY MOOD. IT IS A TINY PLACE WHERE MY THOUGHTS DON'T RACE. IN MY MIND I USUALLY FIND A WARM PLACE WHERE I CAN FIND A TRACE A TRACE OF CALM TO THINK WITH NO PEN OR INK I GO OVER WITHOUT REPRES...
I had a friend of mind ask me recenlty why no one seems to look you in the eyes anymore. Have we gotten so busy as a society that we dont dare to look up anymore. Have our ipods plugged our ears, and our cell phones fogged our brains and txt ing... where does that take us. Here is my theory. As a child we awaken to the world in pure Oneness. We see everything as us. Children will even say &q...
Yesterday afternoon I was trying to work from home but my Beagle and Corgi wouldn't leave me alone. They are hooked on Beggin' Strips and my husband had given them the last of the package while he was having breakfast. Around 3 o'clock I couldn't take the Beagle scratching at the kitchen island and the Corgi barking at me any more so I headed to the local Kmart (...
