"Joshua Shea"

Joshua Shea talks about his porn addiction, experiences with it,
and how he triumphantly recovered from it. From his youth until
the present, Joshua shares his learning's on what elements may
contribute to the rise of this behavior, its effects on his
mental well­ being, and the importance of staying on your
medication. He also breaks down on what misconceptions people
have when dealing with it, and his opinions on how we should deal
with this issue moving forward on an educational level.
By the end of this episode, you will learn what porn addiction
is, how to identify if you manifest this behavior, have empathy
for people that are involved in it, and what to do if you or
someone you know has this problem. There aren’t a lot of people
talking about this, so we hope you stay tuned!
~ About Joshua Shea:
Joshua Shea is a father of two great kids and husband to a
wonderful wife and a menagerie of cats and dogs. He lives in
Central Maine, where he was born and raised.
Today, he works as an author and speaker/presenter sharing his
story and educating about addiction. His books about addiction
can be found on his home page. He believes if we can begin to
talk more about porn addiction and mental health, others may be
able to address their addictions before they devolve to the
unhealthy and criminal places where his hit rock bottom.
This has not always been his story. For years, on the outside,
people saw him as a successful magazine publisher, film festival
founder and city councilor. He hid his mental health issues,
pornography and alcohol addictions from the world. The end came
in 2013 when he engaged a teen girl in an online chatroom, for
which he later served six months in jail. That was the wake up
call he needed and thankfully his Higher Power gave him the
strength to fix a very broken person.
Like most in recovery, he probably understands the issues better
than the non­-addict, but please don’t misinterpret his stories,
experiences, thoughts and opinions as any definitive answers.
Does he consider himself a pornography addiction expert? At this
point, yes. Unfortunately, it’s not hard to be a pornography
addiction expert these days. He believes what makes him a porn
addiction expert is that he has so much third­ hand knowledge
from research and meeting so many porn addicts, but he also has
his personal experiences.
