Q: My husband disclosed his problem of his sexual addiction a week ago. Since then I have tried to study up and find out what his problem exactly is and where do we go from here. It is all very painful to me. I found your website porn no more, which by the way is excellent. My question is now, can I send this information to my husband?
many thanks. - M

A: Dear M,

By all means, share our web site with your husband.
Its very purpose is to reach out to all of those people who, like your husband and yourself, are in need of guidance and direction in seeking a way out of this all too common addiction.

Please keep in mind that it is a gift from God that your husband has confided in you by revealing his addiction.  This revelation to you is also a cry for help on his part.  It is important that you be firm but very supportive in helping him to work through the recovery process and to avoid future temptations.  Most people who have arrived at this point of self-revelation and acknowledgement of their addiction are ready to put forth the effort to attain true and complete recovery.

You have every right to be upset, but keep him and yourself focused on God as the center of your lives.  Trust in Him and He will certainly lead you both through this trial.  God will carry you through this if you just ask Him.

If you are Catholic, I implore you both to take maximum advantage of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion.  It is through these powerful means of God’s grace that He will strengthen the two of you together in your struggle.

Lust is a powerful force and, in the hands of satan, it can quickly render many of us unwitting slaves without even realizing its devastating effects.  The best recovery process we have found is that program offered by Sexaholics Anonymous (see the SA link on our main web page).

I recommend that you contact the local SA chapter in your area.  Consistent and regular participation in the meetings followed by counseling for you and your husband together with your priest, pastor or someone who is qualified and educated in dealing with addiction and recovery will get you both back on the right path.

Recovery is an ongoing healing process.  Don’t be surprised when stumbling, slips and falls occur along the way.  With God’s help, His graces and your shared perseverance, you will succeed.

You and your husband are in our prayers.
God Bless you both!
