Help

The demand for Christian counseling is literally exploding. More and more people have become disillusioned with secular therapeutic interventions that often omit and sometimes even attack the life of prayer and faith. Prayer and faith are so essential to good mental health and ultimate emotional healing. Catholics who are seriously trying to live a faithful Catholic life are presented with particular challenges that our other Christian brethren are not.

CatholicTherapists.com was conceived for those individuals and families who seek specifically Catholic practitioners.

S-Anon is a 12 Step fellowship for the friends and family members of sexually addicted people. S-Anon groups follow the S-Anon Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. S-Anon meetings provide a space for people to share about their common problems, find understanding, and begin to recover from the negative effects of a loved one’s sexual addiction. Members share their experience, strength, and hope with each other as they work on their own recovery.

Compulsive sexual behavior often affects those close to the addict. In S-Anon, we understand how difficult it can be to live with the sexaholism of a friend, partner, or family member—but there is hope. While we found that there was no “quick fix,” sharing with other S-Anon members who understood our pain and applying the principles of the S-Anon Steps and Traditions to our lives can lead to peace and healing. We hear from others, who were once in the same or worse situations, tell how they are solving their problems and are experiencing growth and joy. Whether or not the sexaholic in our life decides to seek recovery, we have learned that we need help for ourselves. By following the principles in the S-Anon Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, and attending S-Anon meetings, we have found healing and serenity.

Sexaholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop lusting and become sexually sober. There are no dues or fees for SA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. SA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sexually sober and help others to achieve sexual sobriety.*

Sexaholics Anonymous is a recovery program based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and received permission from AA to use its Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in 1979.
