Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of transformation as Stephen Arterburn welcomes Bob Sklar, who shares his journey of recovery from sex addiction. After 19 years of battling his addiction, Bob had a breakthrough that changed everything—realising that intimacy and connection were his true issues, not sex itself. This revelation has not only transformed his life but also enabled him to help other men find freedom.
Bob candidly discusses the shame he felt and the fear of asking for help, even attending AA meetings under the guise of being an alcoholic. Through his involvement with the 12-step programme and Every Man's Battle, Bob found a community that supported him without judgement. He emphasises the importance of surrendering to God and finding a supportive community to truly heal.
Stephen and Bob explore the concept of 'acting in' versus 'acting out,' highlighting how fear of intimacy can lead to emotional disconnection. They stress the importance of a supportive community in sustaining recovery and living a life of integrity. As Bob now helps hundreds of men, he embodies the power of humility and surrender, showing us that recovery is possible with the right support. So, what are you waiting for?
Could this be the key to unlocking freedom for your future?
