    About this ebook

    Fortunately, a friend of mine that had dealt with an alcoholic spouse helped me start to understand exactly what I had to do to start to unwind the mess that my life had become. I thank God for her help as I had tried unsuccessfully to manage my marriage and life.

    I hope that you are reading this and ready for some help too. From my hardship, I have written this book as a way of reaching out and hope that others can find the freedom that I have been so blessed to find.

    Please do not wait another moment. Take the small step of purchasing this book and begin your journey to freedom from the bondage of living with addiction.

    Do this for yourself and your sanity. Good luck and I hope that we could one day meet to share our experience strength and hope.
    A small but powerful book jam-packed with helpful information from someone with first- hand experience on the other side of sex addiction. Beneficial tools to help you on your way to recovery and lead you in the direction of the help that is available to you and your loved ones

    Included is my personal journey through the ups and downs of sex addiction. The roller coaster ride of emotions and where to find the help you will need to feel sane once again.

    My own personal experience shared unabashedly with honesty and integrity. This is as honest an account of the perils of sex addiction you will get. I have bared my soul to you so that you may get the help you need and the honesty you seek.

    There is hope but not for the faint of heart. The journey is not an easy one nor is it a short one. There is no graduation day this is a journey you will be on for the rest of your lifetime. It is your journey singularly regardless of your partner’s decision this journey is about you and you will find it is the best gift you can give to yourself and your family.

    There is a lot of hard work involved and it takes a lot of courage but with help of others in the program, you can make it. You will find your life will become more serene and fulfilling. You will laugh again and you will enjoy life again. You will learn to have intimate relationships with other women and you will find life can be good again. Just do yourself a favor and don’t leave before the miracle happens.

    Blessings Cathy M.

    What others are saying:

    Cathy really delves into the symptoms of sex addiction and explains the preoccupation with sexual acts they suffer from. After this, she outlines a plan to help deal with this addiction and live a freer life. If you are a sex addict, this book will help you take the first steps to recovery. If you know a sex addict, this book will help you understand their issues, and perhaps you can help them to adapt.

      Chapter One: The Addiction-Powerful, Baffling and Cunning

      Sex addiction, like any addiction, is a progressive disease. Left unchecked, the acting out will always escalate and the depth of its destruction knows no bounds. This addiction is not a new phenomenon. Jack the Ripper would be labeled a sex addict in today’s world. The Internet has brought forth a whole new breed of sex addicts. With one click, adolescent boys can be brought to places their young minds and eyes should never see.

      Before the Internet, pornography was much harder to come by for a curious pubescent boy. Getting a hold of a Playboy or Hustler magazine wasn’t as easy as going on the Internet. Today’s parent may think young Johnny is playing a harmless game on the computer but meanwhile he is one click away from entering a very dark world that gives his brain the same rush as cocaine and hooks him even faster than crystal meth.

      A boy’s curiosity in the seventies could not take him to the places the Internet can take him to today. Playboy and Hustler are tame compared to what is available today. Red Hot video stores did not exist, and when they came to be, you had to be of age to rent anything there. I am sure there were young adolescents that got away with renting pornos but I can guarantee you that a boy of nine or ten would not have stumbled off the sidewalk into one of these stores to have images burned in his mind of unspeakable acts.

      In the 1970s, stay-at-home moms and working dads were not yet a thing of the past. There were fewer latchkey kids and more children who came home to supervision. Single parents were fewer and marriage was still something that we valued. Divorce wasn’t the quick fix once you were bored or something better came along. You were taught to work on your marriages and they were not something you threw away easily, like a piece of trash.

      I don’t know if there is anything we truly value today. Family values seem to be a thing of the past. Integrity and honesty are overshadowed by an immense drive to succeed. Stuff, we seem to value stuff. We traded our morals we abandoned our children and gave up our quality of life to chase after the material things of this world.

      For proof of this, one only need look around at the abundance of storage facilities available today. As a result of our desire to acquire stuff we no longer have room in our garages and crawl spaces now we need to rent a storage unit as well. It became more important to have the right house, drive the right car and go on dream vacations.

      To keep up with our consumerism we needed two incomes so mom went to work too. Some moms wanted to be supermoms and have a career and family. I think we forgot that having children is a full-time job -- a job that, when done right, is the hardest and most important job one can do.

      We became an instant gratification society. We got so tired and bogged down. Healthy dinners turned to fast food or frozen entrees that could be microwaved and ready in seconds. Children came home from school spending hours alone with no supervision. Some of us became single parents and children were living in broken homes.

      Nonexistent parenting due to fatigue and absence left children feeling unloved and abandoned. In the seventies, the unsupervised hours may have been spent watching TV but those were also the days before video games and fears of child abductions. Kids still filled the streets to play road hockey or hopscotch. With the birth of the Internet those unsupervised hours have taken on a whole new world.

      The world produced plenty of sex addicts before the Internet but it is terrifying to think of what the scope of the addiction will look like for our young men who grew up with pornography at their fingertips.

      Sex addiction is like alcoholism in the early days before alcoholics anonymous. Even though there are twelve step groups for sex addicts and those
