Sex addict recovery board

Hello,


Does anyone know of a board like MIP where the wife of a sex addict (my sister) can go to for experience, strength, hope?


Her husband is "in recovery" but continues to cheat with everyone and anyone including prostitutes.


I spoke to her this morning and she has the same sort of concerns and depressions etc as I am experiencing married to an alcoholic.


 


She NEVER would have confided in me if I had not sent out my email announcement to my family about my situation.


It is strange the turns life takes...


She went to a group therapy thing for awhile and I am unclear why she stopped - I think because supposedly her husband said he was "cured"


I just thought it might help her to be able to relate online...


Megan

 Hi,


www.google.com  Type in: sex addicts  in the search engine box.  Think you will find some help there.  Also, you could call a local mental health center and ask about SA or SAA support groups.


I am very curious, as how the addiction affects those women who are approached by a sex addict.  (Those of us who say "no".)

 Another interesting read in on Stockholm Syndrome,  also enter it on search engine.   Can say some of the feelings sound familiar with one alcoholic I had to deal with.

Thanks for the leads wallsalls


I was able to find some good hits on google and some recovery site which I emailed to my sister.


 


Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.


I was suing keywords not getting me to the right place.


"sex addicts" did it.


 


I'll also do some research on Stockholm Syndrome......

Megan,


   I am a codependent to a recovering sex addict in addition to his being a recovering alcoholic.  It has been my experience that sometimes addicts trade one addiction for another. sex, food, gambling, excessive debting, etc.  There are websites for Sex Addicts Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, and Sexaholics Anonymous.  There is also one for both S-Anon (codependents of sex addicts) and CoSA (slightly different program).  I would like to find a chat or message board similar to this website for us other halfs, but so far I have not found one.  Thanks for bringing this subject up for those people who need information.   Dana

Dana ... I too am struggleing with the affects of my  A husbands many addictions which include sex addictions... I was in the dark this last time ... I thought that the other women part of his addictions was over until I just recently was told that it had been going on all along... He seems to move from one to another whenever one does something that dissappoints him he turns to the other.. and that is why I feel my life has been so chaotic this past year... thank you for the information.. If you find a chat room or message board for us co-dependants of this disease please drop me a message and let me know... and thank you for this post... Terry.. smeep123

Smeep (Terry),


   You may want to check megan's suggestions up above and see which one works for you.  One of them I know does have an email system where you actually have to fill out an application online to get access to the boards.  Dana
