Frank’s Story of Hope with Sex Addicts Anonymous
We aren’t bad, nor irredeemable….
Sex addicts come from all walks of life, young and old, gay or straight, bisexual or transgender. We come from all ethnic and religious backgrounds…I also found that because of the sensitive nature of sexual addiction and society’s views on it, I was relieved that the meetings I went to were ‘closed’ to only those wishing to stop addictive sexual behaviour. It felt safe knowing that the practice of anonymity and confidentiality is so respected, it made the meeting a safe place for me. I only need to use my first name and anything I say in the meeting is treated as confidential and we’re encouraged not to discuss things outside with non-members.

maze, nor about there being no help because you must pretend to be ok.
