A lot of what Ive read and listened to about addictions, is that you can have a much easier time getting past them with the help of a support group.
I dont know whats available in terms of porn addiction groups. Ive had a couple searches, but it mostly seems to be sex anonymous groups.
So, are sex anonymous groups appropriate for porn addicts? Im sure there is a lot of cross-over, but in my mind, these are two different things, and I dont know that a SA group would be open to recieving and supporting me.
I am looking specifically for online support,as I live in South America, and don’t speak sufficient Spanish to be able to participate in a group here.

I think you’d be fine going to a sex addiction group, porn comes under the umbrella of sex addiction - there aren’t different alcoholics anonymous groups for people who drink wine Vs beer Vs spirits…
In sex addiction groups I’ve been to, people have all sorts of different things in their “inner circles” (acting out behaviours that we want to avoid). It doesn’t make them any less or any more am addict whether their sex addiction has them binging porn, or hiring sex workers (or anything else from the plethora of sexually addictive behaviours) they’re still addicts trying to recover and get sober.
I don’t know if it’s the same with online meetings, but in person meetings usually have someone from the group speak to you in advance to check you’re legit, and if it’s right for you.
