Sex Addiction:

Sexual addiction can be defined as an intimacy or relational disorder. It is a destructive relationship with a mood-altering experience or substance. In essence, it is the way some people have learned to cope with and escape from the pain and difficulties of life. The destructiveness of this relationship stems from the isolation and shame it creates as well as the consequences that can accumulate. This leads to more pain which only causes the addict to want to act out more and the downward spiral continues.

Facing your sexual addiction and its consequences can be one of the most challenging things in life. Breaking the secrets of your addiction with the support of others who are going through similar struggles can be the single most important part of recovery. This, along with knowledgeable, specific and caring interventions can provide empowerment and hope for your recovery.
