Welcome!

My name is JoAnn and I am married to a Sex Addict. This site, and the book I am writing is for anyone who loves or cares about a Sex Addict.

Here you will find support, conversation, feedback and resources to help you understand yourself and the Sex Addict. This understanding and knowledge of the hows and whys will be the first step toward healing for yourself and the addict.

Please come back often as I will be posting excerpts from my book as well as new research findings, articles and my own thoughts and progress and I encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas. In the meantime take care and be safe.

Love 'Em And Leave 'Em

The light bulb went off when I finally realized that just because I loved him didn’t mean that I had to stay with him. I could keep my love. Keep the good things. Keep the memories that I chose to keep even if they were now tainted with deceit. I could make those choices. That love was my precious emotion, mine to do with as I pleased. Loving someone does not mean you have to stay. [...]

Can you direct me to any threads where this was discussed or start one asking if anyone has feedback on any institutions or experience with a treatment program they’d like to share. [...]
