David Duchovny Rehabbing for Sex Addiction

Quote:

The truth is out there, whether we want it or not.

David Duchovny has checked into rehab to undergo treatment for sex addiction, the actor's rep, Flo Grace, confirmed to E! News.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction," Duchovny said in a statement first released by his attorney to People. "I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

The X-Files star—who, ironically, won a Golden Globe this year for playing an over-sexed struggling writer on Showtime's Californication—has been married to Téa Leoni since May 1997. They have two children together, daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd Miller, 6.

I could be addicted to Tea Leoni too.

I can't imagine what that family is going through, but I would imagine they're struggling just like any family who deals with addiction...and they have the added burden of people making jokes about it because it's sex.

Well, you have to admit - if you're going to be addicted to something, it may as well be sex.

Yeah, but it's not nearly as much fun as you'd think.

1. We admitted we were powerless over MyHattiesburg.com—that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than MyHattiesburg.com could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of MyHattiesburg.com.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our addiction to MyHattiesburg.com.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed at MyHattiesburg.com, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others at MyHattiesburg.com.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

He was the storyteller on Showtime's Red Shoe Diaries back in the eighties. He currently stars in the Showtime show, Californication which can be pretty intense at times.

Good show though.

Or his wife Tea Leoni is tired of walking with a limp and made him go.

Kitty · #16 08-29-2008, 03:35 PM

So his show should have been the 'X-Rated Files?'

His current show?
It's not hardcore, it's about as bad as a Showtime show can get I suppose. The thing is, remove the adult content and it's still a really good show.

cajungirl · #18 08-29-2008, 11:37 PM

Wow,what a creepy thing to have to admit when you are a married daddy of 2.
