Breaking Free

My most read blog post is “Husbands Who Watch Porn: What Are Their Wives Saying?” While I’m glad to see more readers are finding helpful information here, that post was the beginning of a sad journey for me. I’ve since read many emails and received many comments from women who feel helpless and hopeless because of a man in their life with a seemingly unending thirst for porn.

A website that has been helping many women find comfort and help for their husbands is PornAddictHubby.com. The site is responding to a growing need among women. According to PornAddictHubby, there may be an excess of 4 to 6 million men in America with a porn addiction. Each of these men has a social base that is adversely affected by porn addiction: spouses, girlfriends, children and extended family.

According to this site, for every man who is seeking to overcome addiction on his own initiative, 4 men are doing so at the prompting of their wives or girlfriends. PornAddictHubby is a place for women to find the resources to navigate through the emotional difficulties associated with this addiction, from the personal side and the relational side.

At PornAddictHubby you will find:

• Effects of porn addiction on the addict and the spouse
• Common signs of porn addiction
• Ways to gently confront your husband if you think he has a problem
• Recommended reading list for wives
• Recovery resources for husbands and boyfriends
• A discussion board for women with a growing list of members
• The importance of accountability software in the recovery process
