We talk about addictions of all kinds on Real Recovery and tonight, we cover an addiction particularly common to men.
Usually, Bill and George cover a step, but tonight they jump right into it with Dr. Mark Laaser, as he sheds light on sexual addiction.

Dr. Mark shares his own story, delves into the medical science behind this addiction, and gives practical advice on how to battle impurity. Dr. Lassar unpacks the devastating effects sexual addiction can have on your life and on your loved ones, and he highlights the importance of community in recovery.
