Do you question whether your sexual behaviors are healthy?
Ask yourself these questions:

1. Do my sexual behaviors affect my ability to be intimate? Am I experiencing a pattern of losses? Do I keep up my behavior despite these losses?

2. Who is really in control here - is it me or my preoccupation with sex?

Has sex become my most important need?

We gravitate to the familiar – comfortable or not - and tell ourselves that this moment is no longer tolerable and must change – NOW! Unfortunately, our unwillingness to feel “discomfort in the moment” only adds to the devastating downward spiral of addiction.

More questions to consider:

1. What do you hope that no one ever discovers about you? “We’re only as sick as our secrets." We promise – you’re not the first one to think or act like you do!

2. What are you doing to “knock it off?” If you’re “trying” to stop, then stop "trying", and just stop. NOW would be fine. No acting out for the next 24 hours – no matter what it takes! (try a 12-step meeting like SAA today - they work!)

3. Do you really want to stop or do you just want the consequences to ease up? Be honest with yourself – Start there and then get some help from someone who “gets it.”

You are worth Saving!

Sex addiction may have been a means of not just surviving life but of “feeling alive.” Addicts typically seek to numb out, get high, or just escape the moment. Sex addiction works in all of these ways.

You may have been victimized as a child, suffered trauma, abuse, or been neglected, abandoned, or enmeshed by ill equipped caregivers.

It really wasn’t supposed to go the way it did and we all wish we could change a few things about our history. Sex Addiction may be your unfair and unchosen reality, but the truth is that you are now responsible for what you do with that reality as a mature adult. I’ll say it again - you are now responsible for the cards you have been dealt – however unfairly.

Are you now willing to accept yourself as a precious child of God just because you breathe and also accept that your Sex Addiction is your singular responsibility as a mature adult?

You need help with this

You are worthy of help

and ... Your loved ones need you too - all of you!

You have a responsibility to shine in your own unique brilliance and lay down the rock of shame that you’ve been carrying – probably a rock handed to you in childhood and made heavier with each act out in your sex addiction.

Choose to risk living your life and discover that the pain and grief won’t last forever.

And, by the way, you won’t die if you don’t have sex for a while.


We promise.
