ION, I'm watching Hush with my next 2 classes as a lesson on visual storytelling. I really love my job.

Friday! What are people having for lunch today?

Leftover deep-dish pizza (cheese with sausage).

I am desperately curious about what's involved in sex addiction therapy.

They sit around not having sex?

That reminds me of the list of heart attack symptoms, which inevitably includes "many people have NO SYMPTOMS when they have a heart attack." So, like, I could be having a heart attack RIGHT NOW, since I'm not having any symptoms!

So, if sex rehab is sitting around not having sex, then I'm in sex rehab RIGHT NOW!

Here's, actually, where I don't see that it is sexual addiction. Because isn't sexual addiction, like gambling, or any other destructive behavior, the outlet but not actually what you're treated for in therapy? That is, you're a sexual addict because it's a result of underlying depression or some other mental health issue.

If you're a sexual addict because the underlying problem is you think you're entitled then in my mind you're an ass.

I don't think that feeling entitled is the underlying problem; I think it's part and parcel of the sexual addiction. I mean, I don't *know* that, because I don't really know anything about sexual addiction, but I would think that entitlement is part of the manifestation of the addiction, not the cause.

That's what gave me food poisoning 2 weeks ago, and just reading that made my stomach churn. Guess I'll be staying away from deep dish for the foreseeable future.

I hope you are feeling better, Sue, that sounds like an awful way to wake up.

Roast beef sandwich from left-over roast beef.

Lunch is planned to be a grilled cheese sandwich.

but I would think that entitlement is part of the manifestation of the addiction, not the cause.

This is exactly what I'm getting at. He offered, as the reason for his behavior, his feeling of entitlement. I'm saying that if there's nothing else that caused his behavior, then he's not a sexual addict, he's a horse's patootie.

I don't know if you watched his speech, Sparky, and I am not defending Tiger, but he didn't offer any excuses. He specifically said that one of many problems was a feeling of entitlement - but he indicated it was wrong to feel that way.

I just saw a program the other day about a sex addict, and she talked about doing better with a preplanned daily schedule involving exercise, meditation, lots of focus on meal preparation and such with almost no contact with other people. She didn't mention work though, which made me wonder even if you're well-off enough to not need a job in your late 20s/early 30s, wouldn't the structure and productive use of time help keep you from getting bored and going out cruising for "fun"?

I had a 1/2 egg salad and salad and utz from the deli downstairs. I should have brought a sandwich from home. I had the makings for one but stayed in bed too long. My sandwich would have been much better and I wouldn't have been tempted to get the chips. bleh.
