Stories we encounter in the news distress us. We hear about a man who left his 3 year old son in a car when it was 35 degrees outside. The man was visiting a strip club! Outraged, we asked ourselves, Why doesn't this father get help for his struggle with sexual addiction? Meanwhile we're attempting to escape our own pain through the repeated cycle of overeating and dieting. Like the father visiting the strip club, we refuse to admit our own struggle or reach out for help.
