Ep 30: I Was an Abuser - Here's How I Stopped

In this episode of Joy Recovery Radio, we discuss the critical issue of abusive behavior among sex addicts, through the lens of the Minwalla model and biblical teachings. We emphasize the importance of personal accountability and rejecting abusive behavior. Host Roy expands on how abusive behavior and addiction stem from the same root issue—a heart of pride—and explains how cultivating a heart of humility through daily practices and spiritual guidance can lead to transformational healing. Practical insights and personal experiences are shared to inspire and guide both addicts and their partners toward a lasting recovery.
