|
|
The spouse of a sex addict is left without a roadmap. The marriage and their years of interaction are called into question. The doubts and fears and uncertainties flood the mind. How long has this been going on? What did I do wrong? Is our marriage salvageable? Will it always be like this? Sex addiction is not only dangerous for the addict, but for the spouse as well. Many, after learning of or dealing with a spouse's sex addiction, begin to display symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. Both partners will need help in dealing with and, hopefully, recovering from the addiction and its effects. Discovering a spouse's sex addiction is a deep emotional blow. The mind is wracked with the stress and anxiety of doubt and questioning and the heart is overwhelmed by pain and fear. While some spouses may react with rage, others find themselves numb. There is no one right response to such a situation. Read more at sexualrecovery.com. |

New Year's Resolutions: 6 Ways to Achieve Lasting Change

Typically, New Year's resolutions are pretty simple: "I will quit drinking permanently," or, "I will stop eating sugar," or, "I will stop looking at porn and cheating on my spouse," etc. Not to mention all the lesser commitments made to diet and exercise. These are all without doubt great resolutions, but quite difficult to maintain. The good news is that recognizing the difficulty of long-term behavior modification is actually part of the change process. |
12-Step Groups for Sex Addicts
Sometimes people new to sex addiction recovery don't know about all of the options that are available to them. In addition to inpatient treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, individual therapy, and/or sex addiction focused group therapy, sex addicts may want to attend 12-step sexual recovery meetings. The simple truth is that while intensive treatment and therapy are a great start to sexual recovery, and often an integral part of long-term sobriety, over time 12-step support groups are the true lifeblood of a healthy, happy, sexually sober life. After all, 12-step meetings are where recovering addicts meet others with similar issues who are also working to stay sober. |

The SRI Two-Week Intensive is a program of therapy and education designed to help our clients identify and eliminate all sexual acting out behavior, and to develop the skills and tools needed to prevent sexual relapse. The Two-Week Intensive Program at SRI is a cost-effective and more time-effective alternative to the traditional 4-6 week hospital stay or residential treatment programs.

Our program offers many similar benefits while minimizing the disruption in our clients' lives. Learn more about our Two-Week Intensive Program or Contact us to Reserve a Spot. |
