Confronting (Sexual) Addiction trailer

[MA-Caver]

A close caving friend of mine is working on his masters thesis for film making and chose this subject and has almost completed the work. What is offered here is the trailer of the film that's coming ahead.

Thought I share because this IS a serious addiction which affects the lives of not only the addict but their families and friends as well.
Lemme know what you think?

I tried watching the trailer, and I have quicktime loaded, but nothing happens. ??

It loaded fine for me. Maybe you need to update your version of QuickTime?

It looked quite interesting - I found the part about the counselor saying "always an addict" was hooey interesting.

Hmmmm...it's a new puter, but I'll try again and see if I can get an update. Thanks.

Well that part I disagreed with. The phrase "always an addict" IS true. One can continue to make the choice of NOT giving in to their addiction, be it sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, whatever! But to be totally free of it ... no. I've been a recovering addict for over 19 years and each day I wake up and make the choice of not using/drinking. I've an friend who is a sex addict and I've seen them go through a "successful" (court ordered) program but a few years later he did it again, alibet via different methods, the "reasons" were all there just the same. Now he's still in therapy and has shown improvement but in my mind/experience he will always be subjected to the temptations of his addiction.
Dilligence and attention and distraction are the keys. But "once an addict" always an addict. I'll remain adamant about this particular item. When a person becomes addicted it becomes hard-wired and permanent but it can remain unused like an old program on your hard-drive.

Well, I updated Quicktime but keep getting a Firefox error message (failed) and it shuts down. Maybe I have to use IE? I hate IE. I know someone with this addiction so I'm particularly interested in viewing the trailer.

I said I thought it was interesting... I never said I agreed with it! I'm much more of your opinion.

Well, I use Firefox, so I don't think it's that... but if you want to try it in IE without using IE, you can get a lovely little Firefox extension called IE Tab, which emulates IE within Firefox... for those times you've just gotta use IE!
