You, more than anyone else, know your partner.

Through your lives together, on a day to day basis, you witness your partner’s habits, schedules, and idiosyncrasies. Becoming used to them and in fact, learning to expect them is part of the intimacy of relationships. It is there, in that knowledge, where you begin to see changes that may seem concerning. Sex addiction, like all addictions is progressive in nature. As such, if a condition has seated itself in the psyche of your partner, it will mature and progress to the extent that it will grow increasingly unmanageable and therefore apparent to the partner.

Help is available

1. The focus of the group is to explore the impact sex addiction has on partners. Through a structured and safe environment partners come together with others in similar circumstances to seek answers and support for their concerns about sex addiction and coping strategies that may have unwittingly allowed the addiction to thrive are explored by drawing attention away from the addict and onto the partner’s internal world.

2. Developing and maintaining a support network that includes 12-Step meeting is expected.

3. A minimum of a one-year commitment is needed to enter the ongoing group.
