In his first public appearance since seeking treatment for sex addiction, Golden Globe nominee David Duchovny expressed his thanks for his family for standing by him.
“I’m thankful for so much,” he said on E!’s red carpet. “I’m just most thankful for my life and my family. My wife and my kids — the simple things in life. My gratitude opens my heart every day. I feel blessed.”
Last summer the actor voluntarily entered rehab “for the treatment of sex addiction.” He and wife Tea Leoni later announced they were separating. but remain on friendly terms (they have have two children, Madelaine West and Kyd).
“You do change … it’s all about the actions,” he said when asked about his past year. “I hope the people close to me and my loved ones feel the change.”

Saw you both along with your two children at “Eat Rite” in Amarillo yesterday. I’m glad to see you both trying to make the relationship work. It is so easy to give up. Yes it is hard to stay together if you don’t put certain things first, like God, spouse, kids etc, in that order. But if you both have an individual relationship with your creator, you will know what you must do to make your relationship work for you and your kids. Our willpower never works like God’s power and influence. When your in the public eye, it is easy to let your work rule your life. We are weak and the exposure to the entertainment business can lead us astray, especially when our livilihood come from it. The roles you play are in many aspects how people are in real life when they don’t follow Christ, but it is not good for you and your family. We are just not capable of making good decisions consistently. THat is why having Christ give us “our daily bread” just covers that one day. It forces you to rely on him, have a relationship and keep asking daily to help you just to get through another day, similar to a 12 step program. We can all benefit from that.
May God Bless you and your family
Sincerely,
Katia
