Hello, 

 

I wanted to let you know that the first New York City meeting of Porn Addicts Anonymous (PAA) will be held Monday, May 8, 7-8 pm at St Margaret's House, 49 Fulton Street, Manhattan. The meeting will be in room 3, which is to the left when you walk in the front door. (If you have trouble finding the room, you can ask someone at the front desk for help.) 

 

If you are concerned about your own compulsive behavior regarding porn, you are welcome to attend. It's free and you're not expected to speak. You can just show up and listen if you'd like. 

 

PAA is a spiritual program of recovery from porn addiction. We follow the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, but we're not affiliated with AA and take no position on alcohol or alcoholism. We welcome people of all religions and belief systems.

 

We've found that the taking the twelve steps allowed us to stop watching porn without fighting our urges or white knuckling. We tried many of the ideas offered in this and other forums, but they didn't work for us. We relapsed continually because we're not strong enough to resist. Porn had us beat. We had to find a power greater than ourselves to lift our urge to binge. 

 

If your current approach is working for you, that's great and we wish you continued happiness in sobriety. We're not trying to tell anyone what to do. But if your methods aren't working, we think we can help. We charge no money whatsoever. We simply want to help as many people recover as we can. 

 

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about our process. The best way to explain it is in person or over the phone. So if you'd like to connect with me that way, I can be reached at jakovery@gmail.com. 

 

 

I wish you all the best in your journeys toward or in sobriety. 

Jake
