    Finding in-person (or live-chat/etc) support groups for sex addiction

    I don't know if or whether friends or family would have to know you're in a support group, but I'd say it's really important just to do it. I'd do it instantly here—if there were a group I could either speak better German (or English). I'm going to try the 3am online meeting later tonight I think.

    Finding in-person (or live-chat/etc) support groups for sex addiction

    Does anyone here have any advice for someone finding a support group for dealing with an addiction to compulsive/addictive sexual behavior esp. out of using apps? I've lately found my problems have metastasized from PMO into a repeating app-browse-to-sex cycle, and it's gotten quite bad lately...

    Advice with an 'it's complicated' friend...

    Could use some advice... So I'm about to visit family and old friends in CA for the first time in a year and a half. One old friend is a bit of an unfortunate, complicated case I'm really not sure what to do about. So basically I've known him the last 9 or 10 years, and we bonded really well...

    Happy to say I've been doing much better in general, though slipping once on M recently—really just being free of stress-induced distraction-seeking with anon. sex/chatting and porn, over 2 1/2 weeks now. That's a real win the last couple months. Counseling's really helped me recently, talking...

    @Clean Plate – Stress and a lack of dialing myself down and asking what I was really wanting and looking for. I should have first sought inner peace (which I didn't) and then find better connection with another human–i.e. a good friend.

    Sorry mate (@timo9), I've been so busy I lost track of this (and the tracker). Can say I've been almost two weeks without everything else except M—that's a total win.

    Seriously wonder if I should just go find a local AA group. I'm tired of failing…and by myself.

    Green Sex: Sex as nature intended

    I admit the phrase 'green sex' caught my eye and brought me here. That's probably the best, 'PC' expression I've ever seen for the Catholic Church/NFP's philosophy.

    Things I wish I could post on Facebook—but one just doesn't do that. Things like this make it easy to be upfront. I wish I were more so in life.

    Just a note that... I'm really tired of being alone—from family, friends, and especially a mate. Christmas is like salt to this wound.
