This program is a great program. It is an outlet for an addictive problem, that goes beyond a 12-Step Program. Number one benefit – Education. The education about this addiction was a godsend. Then the process of walking us through all those recovery steps with homework, was very good. Makes you think and recognize what this addiction has done to your life.
Sex addiction: How to treat the problem and save your family
By Jill Margo for Financial Review

While men suffering from an addiction to sex will fearlessly pursue it, they are actually chasing something else, according to Dr Kenneth Adams, an international expert in this field of addiction.
“It’s not about sex at all. Rather it’s a way they medicate their feelings, wounds and insecurities,” he says.
Adams, who was in Sydney recently to run a course on a fresh approach to treating this condition, says these addicts have developed patterns of compulsive behaviour which they genuinely want to stop but can’t, even though the consequences can be dire.
Unlike a promiscuous and opportunistic narcissist who feels entitled and doesn’t have much regret afterwards, a sex addict is in his shame. While the narcissist experiences no conflict with his behaviour, the addict does.
