Because most people do not really understand what sexual addiction is and what causes it we combine the 12 steps with certain books (e.g., "Contrary to Love," "Out of the Shadows") so that co-addicts can confront their own denial and behavior while gaining insight and understanding of their spouse's addiction.

Co-addicts who are in a relationship with sexually addicted men need the fellowship and support of a 12-step group that they might not get anywhere else due to the sensitive nature of this addiction. Co-addicts may share the following experiences:

• Having a spouse who has continually called "900" sex numbers.
• Having a spouse who is currently having or has had an affair(s).
• They, themselves, are having an affair.
• Issues dealing with molestation and abuse from a spouse.
• Their spouse having homosexual affairs.
• Their spouse watching adult sex videos and buying pornography (magazines).
• Their spouse having sex with prostitutes.
• Their spouse's obsession with sex to the point of self-injury.

If any of these experiences are true for you, and you find that too much of your time is focused on dealing with or recovering from these experiences, then we invite you to join our fellowship.
