Anthony Weiner and the State of Men

Anthony Weiner has recently indicated that he will be getting help to deal with his sexual issues, and for that, well... I'm glad.  He seems to have employed the "Chineese water torture" method of disclosure that my husband often talks about when he's counseling men about what not to do.  But at least now, it all out in the open.  Many of you have questions about what to expect when someone decides to get help for this, and for an intellegent discussion on this, I'd recommend that you read my husband's blog post Congressman Weiner Seeks Help Continue Reading

Tiger Woods: Life In Rehab

I came across this interview on ESPN's SportsCenter with writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis regarding Tiger Wood's rehab stay--what it's like in rehab for sexual addiction?   A brief disclaimer: this interview speculates that Tiger Woods is in a particular clinic, and this should not be considered an endorsement of any kind. And I do want us to respect Tiger's privacy.   For those of you who may unfamiliar with the process, I did think it was informative and sheds light on the process of "getting real" with it that an addict with a life dominating Continue Reading

Gayle Haggard Discusses Book on Oprah

Three years ago, Gayle Haggard learned of her husband Ted’s secret liaisons and drug use.  This week she explained why she stayed with him during an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. Her book, Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour was released this week. Gayle received a warmer welcome from Oprah than she did the last time she and Ted appeared in January of 2009.  At that time, the documentary  The Trials of Ted Haggard was debuting on HBO, and with the scandal still fresh, Oprah approached the interview with visible Continue Reading
