The top 10 ways to quit a P addiction;

• Number 10 – Admit you have a problem and face up to it and then own those problems as your own… no one else’s!
• Number 9 – Tell your partner or someone you can lean on because it’s highly unlikely that you can do this alone!
• Number 8 – read, read, read the many books that are out there because knowledge is power and self-knowledge is wisdom! (“Every Man’s Battle”, “Every Man’s Marriage”, “The Porn Trap”, “Out Of The Shadows”, “The Love Dare”, etc., etc.)
• Number 7 – “The truth shall set you free”, learn to speak it and live it… Honesty is not only the best policy; it’s the only one… no more lies and deceit.
• Number 6 – Patience… get some and learn how to use it when life throws you a bad day… and it will so get over it.
• Number 5 – Kindness is truly a nice thing to receive from folks… learn to how to give it back and show a little compassion for others especially your SO!
• Number 4 – “Pay attention” to your SO, your recovery, potential triggers and never get lax or overconfident. Pretend your attention is like your electric bill… if you don’t pay it… the lights will go out!
• Number 3 – Love your SO for God’s sake and let her know it! Words aren’t enough and your actions tell the whole story so she needs to know and feel that commitment as well… let her know she’s still the love of your life!
• Number 2 – Check your ego at the door or you’ll trip right over it and fall flat on your face… trust me on this one!
• And the Number 1 way to quit a P addiction…
