Question by Jack C: Is physical abuse as a child linked to sexual addiction as an adult?
I have been seeing a therapist who specializes in compulsive sexual behaviors. I also attend 12 Step meetings for my sexually compulsive behaviors. My therapist is in agreement that I have a sexual behavior problem, and the therapist uses the term “sexual addiction” in describing my behavior problem. I won’t get into the details. My therapist asks a lot of questions about my childhood, and lately has focused on my father’s disciplinary actions, which can be viewed as physical abuse. Again, I will spare you the details. My therapist seems to imply that my “sexual addiction” is linked to physical abuse as a child. My question is how are the two linked? I am not into BDSM. I have my own theories, and I am interested in hearing your theories, particularly if you were physically abused as a child. I want to stress that I was NOT sexually abused. Thanks. Peace.

Alcohol addiction or alcoholism can be defined as a compulsive requirement for an intoxicating drink that is derived from a fruit or fermented grain. The drink may be anything from wine, beer, whiskey or rum.

Intake of alcohol becomes addiction when a person craves for consumption of alcohol & is unable to limit the drink. A person can be termed as alcoholic if he or she experiences, certain withdrawal symptoms like sweating, anxiety, nausea. A person can also be called an alcoholic if he wants to have greater amounts of alcohol to experience a high.

Most people think that having a strong will to stop drinking is enough to give up alcohol. However, the process is quite complicating. When a process becomes alcoholic, the craving is so great that it actually suppresses the ability to stop consuming. Most alcoholic requires adept assistance to give up alcoholism.
