Sexual Addiction Support Groups
Sexual struggles tend to be an isolated and secretive event, unlike an alcoholic or a gambling addict. This unique and hidden away personal struggle can not only hurt you, but it can damage your relationships as well. These support groups help you get out of the pattern of struggling alone, keeping your thoughts secretive, or meeting others that struggle similarly. Most people try to "manage on their own"...but for most people it doesn't work. These groups below meet every day of the week and at different times and throughout San Diego. There is no excuse that can get in the way.

Recommended Readings for Compulsive Sexual Issues:
I believe in the power of knowledge. The more you get educated about your personal struggles, the more you understand what to do to get out of the addictive cycle. Addiction is no easy issue, especially a secretive sexual addiction. Here are a few books that I recommend.
