Sex Addiction Support Groups
Updated: 01/07/2007
It is important for our spiritual and emotional health to meet regularly with other people who are seeking recovery. Walking in purity can be challenging, and the support and encouragement of others on the same path can be helpful in keeping us on track to freedom.
There are a variety of formats and philosophies for support groups. The groups listed here do not necessarily hold the same beliefs as this site's author. With that in mind, we encourage you to thoroughly check out a prospective group's beliefs before committing to it. Most of the groups listed on this page are Christian-oriented groups. Some groups, such as Sexaholics Anonymous, offer fairly non-religious, 12-Step programs similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.
A note for Christians...If you are a Christian, one of the dangers you face with sex addiction is becoming isolated or alienated from the body of Christ. Fear of rejection or judgment are common tools the evil one uses to steer people away from breaking secrecy with other Christians. Don't allow the devil to cut you off from the prayer support, teaching and encouragement that you need. Consider Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV: 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
If you are involved in a good support group and would like to list it on this page, please contact us.
