Dr. Patrick Carnes is big in the field of sexual addiction & recovery. His Out of the Shadows of the Net was one of the first books I picked up when I started getting real about how to break free from my addiction to pornography.
Several months ago I sat down with my girlfriend at the time and talked about the things I felt like where gonna be critical for my recovery going forward. One of those things was going out to a 12 Step based support group. A while back I went to one meeting, but then got into some groups that were associated with the individual therapy I was receiving at the time. They weren’t really rooted in the 12 steps however.
Here Dr. Carnes gives some of the core reasons why a group like 12 Steps is important in the recovery of those struggling with sexual addictions.
