Porn & sex addiction led to betrayal & excommunication, until Steven finally found hope in recovery

"I got some relief from the incredible fear and pain and darkness that was surrounding me when I made the decision to get honest. That was a profound experience. There's a great scripture that I actually experienced in that event, it was Alma 34:31-Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately will the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you. That scripture I found later in my repentance process spoke to me because I had experienced what happened when I had a change of heart. From fear of coming forward and being honest, to I will get honest. I will do whatever is required. I could lose my marriage, lose my church membership, lose my family, lose my job. All of those things were possibilities. But yet I realized that I didn't have any alternative except to get honest. And when I chose to do that, that was a changing experience for my life." https://salifeline.org https://SAL12step.org Betrayal trauma book written by Rhyll Anne Croshaw: "What Can I Do About Me?" 00:00 Life-Changing Event 03:46 Mission in New Zealand 04:28 Addressing Sexual Addiction 09:10 Personal Recovery Journey 14:57 Rhyll's Perspective 17:00 Second and Third Disclosures 34:27 Understanding Betrayal and Addiction 44:05 The Importance of Parental Involvement 48:29 Steven's Excommunication and Re-baptism 01:02:01 The Power of True Doctrine Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Mike's Auto Shack https://mikesautoshack.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% off https://memorjewelry.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
