Sexual Addiction / Cybersex Recovery

Sexual addiction is a pattern of obsessive sexual thoughts and compulsive sexual behavior that continues even after the person has experienced numerous consequences including significant suffering to themselves and others. The person cannot stop these sexual thoughts and behaviors by using will power, or by attending 12 step groups. Intervention and support are required.
