Partners of Sex Addicts Support Group

[gypsy1975]

Hello Everyone!

I want to start a support group for partners and spouses of anyone married to a sex addict. Anyone living in the Bath, Bristol, Weston Super-Mare and surrounding areas of the UK, please send me a message or respond to this post and I will get in touch.

I am painfully aware of how alone and despondent you might feel. Its not an easy thing to talk about or share with anyone. I am in the situation and want support for myself, and others. We might just start something amazing.

I know men have recovery meetings 2-3 times per week, but women have limited support.

Leave me a message, I will respond asap.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

It may not be an 'addiction' as such but it is a compulsive behaviour that can cause great distress and feelings of shame and self-loathing. I'm a therapist who has worked with clients with this issue and it IS real.

I'm not saying no-one has ever been caught with their pants down and trotted it out as an excuse but that doesn't mean it isn't genuine at all, what a narrow minded viewpoint

OP I think your support group is a fantastic idea and am in that area myself so if you PM me I will forward your details to any relevant clients if that's ok with you?

I hope you got some success with a support group….I could really use it!

Of course it's real, I had an ex who would wank 4x a day minimum when he was happy and constantly when sad. When we split up he would take viagra and just wank all day and night. He did end up causing himself some type of extreme thrush.

Any compulsive behaviour that you do to make yourself feel better/self soothe can be classed as an addiction.
