Is Addiction a Life Sentence? with Cassandra Hulse [45]

For each person struggling with pornography, the journey is individual and difficult in its own way. So how does someone know when to call themself an “addict”? Creed and Crishelle talk with Cassandra Hulse about how she came to realize that labeling yourself an addict is very personal and really depends on how it can help you in recovery. Hear her breakthrough story when she realized that the goal of recovery is to live a healthy life, not to attend a recovery program forever.

In this episode:

• Labels are important and very personal. Everyone gets to choose what works for them.
• Addiction is not a permanent condition.
• Principles of recovery are lifelong habits, but not everyone will need to continue all the programs or meetings for the rest of their life.
• Be compassionate about where people are on their journey right now.
