Sexual Addiction

Women, Sex, and Addiction: A Search for Love and Power: 

Kasl, Charlotte Davis

"In our society, sex can easily become the price many women pay for love and the illusion of security. A woman who seeks a sense of personal power and an escape from pain may use sex and romance as a way to feel in control, just as an alcoholic uses alcohol; but sex never satisfies her longing for love and self-worth. In this wise and compassionate book, Charlotte Kasl shows women how they can learn to experience their sexuality as a source for love and positive power and sex as an expression that honors the soul as well as the body."

Adams SEXUAL ADDICTION SA – Sexaholics Anonymous at Sexaholics Anonymous | The Official Website for Sexaholics Anonymous, a Program of Recovery from Sex and Lust Addiction We admitted that we were powerless over lust—that our lives had become unmanageable.

We draw three concentric circles, consisting of an inner, middle, and outer circle. With the help of our sponsor or others in recovery, we write down various behaviors in each of the three circles. In the inner circle we put the sexual behaviors we want to abstain from, the ones we consider “acting out.” SCA – Sexual Compulsives Anonymous at Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (sca-recovery.org) Step 1.
