r/SexAddiction is a subreddit with 47k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses struggling, hard time, having a hard time, sex addiction, and recovery.
We are a recovery community only open to those seeking help. We found that recovery was possible when we sought support from others that struggled with the same addiction. We share our experience, strength, and hope as sex addicts, and the resources that helped us in our personal journeys. We've found that keeping the focus on the solution keeps the space safe for all of us. This is not a place to meet sex partners, nor is it group therapy. We highly encourage public discussion on the subreddit.
