Jed A - Attachment Rupture and Restoring Secure Attachment - Meeting 34

Jed A experienced his first exposure to pornography at 9 years old when he was out riding a little motorcycle his dad had purchased for him and his brother. He had stopped to explore an old barn and found some pages someone had stashed away. His entrapment with addiction covers a span of nearly 20 years culminating in finally reaching the point of humility where he admitted that he was an addict and needed help. Throughout two full years of counseling and 12 step work Jed experienced the wonderful healing of the attachment ruptures that had been left in the wake of his addiction. His experience working with a professional counselor who specializes in pornography addiciton lead him to a decision to go into the field and to also specialize. He has been working as a licensed therapist for 10 years now and practices online using HD video conferencing which allows him to work with people all over country and even with some people overseas. Today Jed will be talking about how addiction causes attachment rupture with the self, with God and with the spouse and then how recovery brings an opportunity to restore secure attachment in all of these relationships.There were 3 pdf's shared in this episode.  If you wish to have those sent to you, please send an email to [email protected] and request them and I will get them to you.Welcome to the Reco12 Speaker Meeting.  We are an organization whose addictions include alcohol, drugs, lust and sex, food and gambling, just to name a few.  We come together from all places, faiths and backgrounds to learn the similarities of addiction and to gain tools and hope from others who are walking a similar path.  We invite recovering addicts with at least 1 year sobriety and who are actively working their recovery in their respective fellowships to share their experience, strength and hope on a live Zoom meeting, each Friday at 12:00 pm central time, for 20-25 minutes.  Then, we, the live audience, get the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker for another 20-25 minutes.  In order to ask questions, please type them in the Q and A link at the bottom of your Zoom window.  If you are hearing this podcast recorded and would like to participate as a live audience member, or if you would like to be a guest speaker in a future meeting, please go to www.reco12.com to learn more and submit your email address there to receive weekly invitations or to submit to become a guest speaker.  Reco12 is a self-supporting service and we appreciate your help in keeping it that way.  We gratefully accept contributions to help cover the costs of the Zoom platform, podcast platform, web hosting, and administrative costs.  To contribute, you can go to https://www.reco12.com/support  or you can click the link to PayPal (https://www.paypal.me/reco12)  in the chat of the live meeting.  When you contribute, please specify the meeting number.  This is meeting number 34.If you find value in this service, please take a moment to go to the podcast platform of your choosing and leave a rating and review.  It helps us work our 12th step by carrying the message of recovery to more addicts who suffer.SAL12Step.orghttps://ldshopeandrecovery.com/Keep coming back!  It works if you work it.  So work it.  You are worth it.Information on Noodle It Out with Nikki M Big Book Roundtable Informational Seeking and educating on how to donate to Reco12.Support the showPrivate Facebook GroupInstagram PageBecome a Reco12 Spearhead (Monthly Supporter)PatreonPayPalVenmo: @Reco-TwelveYouTube ChannelReco12 WebsiteEmail:  [email protected] to join WhatsApp GroupReco12 Shares PodcastReco12 Shares Record a Share LinkReco12 Noodle It Out with Nikki M PodcastReco12 Big Book Roundtable Podcast
