Pornography Addiction Treatment in Alabama
Your use of pornography seemed harmless enough in the beginning. Like with tens of millions of other Americans it was a means to explore your sexuality. However, things changed over time. Casual consumption became habitual, and now the urge to open up your laptop or smartphone to view sexually explicit content is so great that you cannot resist. This overwhelming feeling to view pornographic material has caused disruptions in relationships and workplace/career productivity, and has even resulted in a loss of interest in healthier activities that you once enjoyed. More notably, it has had a negative impact on your mental health and wellness. While you have tried to take a break, you are unable to abstain for a month, a couple of weeks, or even a few days without retreating to the same behavior. The good news, is that in recognizing this you also recognize that you need help from a counselor who understands what you are going through.
