“Let’s Talk About Sex” – Sex Addiction with Jace Downey of Suddenly Celibate
Jace Downey hated herself. She read the self-help books, tried trial and error experiments to get better and was seeing multiple therapists. Nothing helped or made any sense. She was destructive, a bad friend, selfish and a complete mess. The idea for suicide didn’t come from a place of dramatic depression. It really just seemed like the next best step.
“I was miserable; I made those around me miserable, and the only people who liked me didn’t know me at all. I just couldn’t go on doing it anymore. I wanted to turn to the escape I had used so many times in the past, but I couldn’t do it. The urge to evade the pain I was feeling was so overpowering that I began to wonder. If sex releases chemicals in the brain similar to that of drugs, could it be just as damaging?
This question prompted me to do a little research before making the big final decision.
Like a flash of light in a dark room, my world was illuminated. I read deeper and discovered I was definitely not alone and that there was a solution.
I joined a recovery program that week, and for the first time in my whole life I felt like I belonged somewhere. I was home.”
