Sex / Pornography Addiction Support Group

If you're interested in a new life-changing method for overcoming pornography addiction, try Power Over Pornography, a new kindle book that is an effective approach that doesn't require self-discipline or drastic steps. It's simple in its approach but really works. I hope it's helpful to your husband.

Do you know the author? I don't have a Kindle, I'm not sure if he will read it but I can atleast and talk to him about it.Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Broken,
There is also a support group for spouses here on DS, it's been a God send for me, and I'm sure you'll find wonderful support there as well. I've tried to post the link to it below.

He's Gotta read! I dont like to, and most of the time, the stuff i read i think is BS. I might get a good nuget every once and awhile, but that because i only pick up my books every once and awhile........hum, I think i need to read more often.
helping me help you, J

Well, it's nice that you would want to help him. However, this is something he has to do for himself. I think as far as support goes, honesty about all of your feelings is a good thing. Where are you in all of this? And, fostering honesty on his part is a good thing, where is he in all of this? Why does he want to quit?

I am trying to support him any way I can. He wants to stop for himself, me and our daughters. His porn addiction was affecting spending time with me and our daughter(I am pregnant with our second) It was getting bad. He would go into the bathroom or say he was going to bed just to look at it. He is actually on this site and this board, it was his suggestion that I join this board. This way I can get ideas to help him and figure out how to deal with his addiction myself.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Power Over Pornography is by Brian Brandenburg, It is offered for free every month or so if you keep watching. Best of luck in helping your husband.

Hello, My husband agreed to load an accountability software called Covenant Eyes. You both need to agree to use it and it's good for the whole family, you can load it on several devices on an individual account. It collects websites visited and accumulates a report. You can visit it at any time to see it, and it's also delivered to up to I think 5 accountability partners. Or just to you and him. It's like $9 a month and worth every penny. It can also be downloaded onto smart phones. check it out. It sounds like your husband is on the right track. But, if you just load it without him knowing, it doesn't work, trustwise. Check it out.

Well my husband is a sex addict and which has escalated to massage parlors and prostitutes, amongst other things... He is trying to be sober and has been going to Sex Addicts Annonomys meetings and see's a therapist. He says the meetings are a god sent. The meetings are based on the AA meetings. You can look them on the internet. They even have SAanon too. Which is for partners that have SA issues. One thing he has always told me is I cannot be his support system because this is something only he can do. His stuff. Only thing you can do is try and not to do anything that might stimulate the problem.

Since this is my first time posting anywhere on Daily Strength I'm not going into a lot of detail about my own experience other than to say that sex addiction was rampant in my life before I ever knew that there was such a thing. It cost me everything. I don't know what part of the country you live in but there is an outstanding program called "Heart to Heart" in Colorado Springs, there is also a lot from them available on line. The best thing I did when I decided I had to get help was to start attending one of their 12-step groups.

I disagree with SheenRe's statement that it is something he has to do himself. It is something he has to "want" to do before he will ever have success but it is definately not something he can do alone, in my opinion.

Good luck and God Bless
