Your Alarming Porn Statistic For June We all know porn is huge on the Internet, but with all of the percentages and millions of people doing this or that, it’s easy to just let those numbers fly by. I stumbled upon a fascinating website that ranks the popularity of the Top 50 websites in the world. Click Here
Bipolar Disorder + Alcoholism & Porn Addiction = Recipe for Disaster I feel like I often gloss over the role that bipolar disorder played in my life as I contended with my addictions. I know being the guy who’s open about his porn addiction is what makes me more unique than most addicts in the public’s eyes, but I often feel like I’m leaving out a big factor in my story when I don’t explain the nuances of bipolar disorder.

Q&A Time Hi. I really like your site and I promise I’m going to buy your book when I get enough money. I think that I am a porn addict. Or maybe I should say I know I’m a porn addict, but it’s not that bad yet, but I want to stop before it is. Do you know what I mean? So if someone like me wants to stop, what do I do? I don’t think I need to see anyone. Click Here
What Did It Feel Like To Be A Porn Addict? As I was reconfiguring my home page yesterday, feeling it was time to freshen things up by giving the book promotion a less prominent place, while still feeding my ego by listing all of the podcasts and radio shows I’ve done, I recognized that unlike Playboy magazine, people actually do come here for the articles and one I’ve never written about is what it felt like to be a pornography addict.

The Strangest Thing I Did in Jail Note: The following is a 100% true story. I am transcribing directly out of one of the journals I kept while in jail in early 2016. Based on a reference early on, it was probably written in mid-April. I kid you not…this is completely legit. I have the journal to prove it. Click Here
My first book is still available through Amazon

I’m Now Offering Peer Support Counseling
I’ve decided to leap in with both feet and begin formally providing peer support counseling to people who are dealing with pornography addiction or those who have porn addicts in their lives who are directly affected. I appreciate the encouragement from the people who have urged me to direct my energy in this direction. It will be interesting to see what happens. Click Here for Website
Radio and Podcast Interviews (Links for shows HERE):
Available for appearances
I am now ready for the live presentation “The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About” which takes a look at the looming health crisis that pornography addiction poses in the near future. If your church, library, college organization of civic group would like a non-graphic presentation, or if you would like to see where I’ll be presenting, click HERE.
Coming soon to Pelham, NH and Rangeley, ME

Thanks! Fingers crossed people buy it and it’s not just a curiosity they walk by, like a Vanilla Ice movie.

Vanilla Ice has a movie?! haha
I don’t think sales are as important as you having the courage of sharing all of this. But of course, I wish that everything works out!

And you’re absolutely right. I’d just like to see all of that time I wasn’t chasing paying writing gigs to amount to something more than 8 sales.

Thank you for being open about this relevant subject! I, along with my other pastors, was never taught how to address this matter in seminary. Despite the neglect, God showed me how to extend grace to those with this struggle and help restore them to the path God has for them. Someone must speak up, and those who hear must not play the Pharisee.

Hey Joshua, I left you a review on Amazon. Thank you so much again for being a guest on the Addictions Podcast. I plan on airing the episode on February 12th, so stay tuned for that!

I heard you on a podcast and bought your book exactly four months ago now. I finally got through the book (I’m a slow reader but also thought it wise to chew on your story daily.) You may have saved my life. I took your advice and have filed this as a cautionary tale. Read, filed, and there to read again. Many positive actions have been taken in that time span. More to come. Sleep – I must add – has proven to be my biggest ally for positive change in my life over these past few weeks over which the most change has occurred for me.

You are so welcome. As I read this reply from you to my post, I feel connected to you as not just a writer of a book but as a real person. It brings up emotions of both sadness and joy – for your hardships and your ultimate successes. I am sure much of that emotion is mine as I consider my struggles and several times when I thought my actions were about to bring my whole world down. I have had so many chances to turn it around and I feel that this will be the time when it may actually happen. Thank you again, Mr. Shea.
