Addicted to Pleasure with Dean Beattie
Manage episode 483539676 series 3603444
For Dean, addiction has always been about seeking pleasure, whether through sex, drugs, or alcohol. But it wasn’t until he quit alcohol and drugs that he and his therapist realised that sex was his primary addiction all along.
His journey has been about breaking free from the need to constantly feel good, and today, he’s found peace in genuinely liking the person he is.
His approach is simple yet powerful: "Just get through today."
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses themes of substance abuse and sex.
