Welcome!

Just type “sex addict” in the search. You will see a ton of threads, and within them, the members who are battling this particular addiction.

Yup, there are a few. @Yoda-Stevie gave you good advice. Some of them are also in the porn and masturbation discussions on here, so you can search for that also. Hope you find them, but more importantly, I hope you find help here.

Unfortunately this became one of the addictions with Crystal.
There are some SA meetings in Oakland area so I was considering going to a meeting to see when I get out of it

Yes, sex and porn in general, lots of online stuff, etc

Yes, I’ve been a sex & love addict my entire life. But only in the past… Maybe 6 years? Was I even aware of it being an actual addiction that tons of people struggle with, and even had support meetings (SLA) for that particular addiction. To be honest, always just thought I was just some sort of weirdo. Haha :joy:

So it’s pretty incredible to know that there’s reasearched knowledge, support groups, and that were not alone in this struggle.

I’m here trying to get over it and Sober 26 days now

I’m a sex addict, and in the same boat I’ve been this person all my life but only learned of it maybe 4-5 yes ago. Had many relapses cause I didn’t know exactly what my acting out behaviors were until I started going to meetings, seeing a therapist and working the steps. I’m currently working on step 8 and 9 which has been a bitch. But there’s a huge community of Sex Addicts, granted everyone has their own demons. Within this community there are tons of categories that fall under being a sex addict. Patrick Carnes has tons of books, and podcasts that can help better understand this addiction. It’s not like other addictions where you stop having sex. But we’re all here to help each other.
