In this episode we will continue with part two of addiction in America. My guest, Jackie, whom just as I did in ep, 002, Pt 1, I will refer to as "Jackie, from Los Angeles", to respect her anonymity. 

Jackie is a comedian, and self identifying Sex & Love Addict. Sex and love addiction is a disease that is very crippling to many people and can take form in a variety of ways. Most commonly in today society we see sex addiction often as porn addiction. With apps, making it easier and easier to obtain sexual partners in a matter of minutes with no remorse at all, people today are taking part in sexual exploits without even realizing the mental consequences.

I hope that as people hear Jackie's experience with her own addict to Sex & Love that some will know that they are not alone. When Jackie speaks about her strength that pulled her to a life of recovery and hope, that many here in America will find the courage to take a seat in a 12-step room in hope of their own recovery. 

It's the goal of The Real Life Show to bring open and honest conversation to subjects that many people are either unaware of, or choose to look the other way too, in hopes that we can change negative stigma into intelligent life action.

If you or someone you know is suffering from Sex & Love Addiction and would like help, please visit www.slaafws.org, there is a rich and truly fulfilling life waiting for you to answer its call!
