A Bethesda Workshops Story of Hope

"I didn’t know I had a s*xual addiction. I confessed 13 years of secret s*xual sin to my husband, promising I was done… and then I couldn’t stop. Even after ending the affair and stopping po*******hy, I still used s*x and ma********on to cope. That’s when I knew I couldn’t fix this problem on my own.

My breaking point came on August 30, 2024. After a second confession, overwrought by my shame, I left home intending to end my life. But God intervened through a phone call with my best friend. She reminded me there was still hope and that God wasn’t finished with me yet.

Bringing my sin/addiction into the light changed everything. I’m finally living surrendered and free in His light. Healing hasn’t been easy, but my marriage, family, and friendships have grown so much stronger in this new season of sobriety. I wouldn’t change a thing – other than beginning this journey sooner!

Bethesda Workshops showed me I wasn’t alone and that recovery was possible. Today I am 587 days sober. My ultimate hope is found in Jesus - His mercy, His redemption, and the truth that He still loves me, despite my history.

Recovery is possible for you too; you are never too far gone with Jesus!"

Last week’s Healing for Partners clinical team 💙

We’re so grateful for the people who show up, hold space, and walk alongside partners in some of their hardest, and most hopeful, moments. This work matters, and so does the community behind it.

If you or someone you love is navigating the impact of betrayal or relational wounds, our Healing for Partners workshop is a place to begin again with support, understanding, and care.
✨You don’t have to do this alone.

Support doesn’t just help people stop a behavior; it helps them rebuild a life.

Recently, Barna conducted research in partnership with Pure Desire Ministries. They compared the well-being of p**n users with the support of someone helping them avoid po*******hy vs. p**n users without the support of someone helping them avoid po*******hy.

Those who receive support report higher rates of feeling:
• My life has purpose
• Someone believes in me
• I am deeply cared for
• I feel prepared for everyday life

This is what healing can look like.

Most men don’t talk about it.

The patterns they can’t seem to break.
The thoughts they don’t feel proud of.
The habits that start to feel bigger than they are.

It’s exhausting to carry that alone.

The Healing for Men Workshop is a place to step out of isolation and into something different - honest conversation, real support, and a path forward.

Spots can fill quickly.
