Recovering Together: Issues Faced by Couples

by S-Anon International Family Groups

Overview

Couples share their experience, strength, and hope on the topics of communication, trust, forgiveness, honesty, commitment, and healthy sexuality.

A great deal of commitment is required within a relationship if the problems caused by sex addiction and the family's reactions to it are to be overcome. However, experience has shown that we can overcome our initial fears, and many of us are happier in our relationships than we ever imagined possible, achieving levels of intimacy we only hoped for previously. This booklet covers a variety of topics such as:

• Isn't it irrational to trust a person who has proven untrustworthy?
• How can we communicate honestly with each other when we haven't for so long?
• Can our sexual relationship ever be a joyful and fulfilling expression our commitment to one another?
• We thought we were committed, but how long should we wait for real change to occur?

We have addressed these questions and others by asking those who have attended open couples' meetings to share their experience, strength and hope on how recovery through the S-Anon program has worked for them.

Note: The S-Anon International Family Groups are a worldwide fellowship of the relatives and friends of sexually addicted people. S-Anon is a 12 Step program based on the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. Find this eBook and additional literature in print version at www.sanon.org.

About the Author

The S-Anon International Family Groups are a worldwide fellowship of the relatives and friends of sexually addicted people. S-Anon is a 12 Step program based on the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

S-Anon Family Groups are for those who are hurting in response to the sexual addiction of someone close to them. It does not matter whether that person is a family member, a partner, spouse, child, or someone outside the family like a friend, teacher, or boss. Sexaholism can affect anyone.

S-Anon is for people of all sexual orientations, genders, denominations, and races, those in a relationship or not, parents, children, relatives, friends and others whose lives have been affected by another person’s sexual behavior. The only requirement for S-Anon membership is a problem of sexaholism in a family member or friend.

We have found that attending S-Anon meetings regularly is a vital part of the S-Anon Program. S-Anon groups meet weekly as a way for members to share their experience, strength, and hope. Our meetings are free to attend and are not allied with any particular religion or organization. Meeting information can be found at www.sanon.org.

S-Anon literature represents the S-Anon point of view regarding our recovery and the effects of another person’s sex addiction. Our literature is written by S-Anon members and offers our common experience about recovery from the family disease of sex addiction. Our literature, including S-Anon Twelve Steps and Working the S-Anon Program, can be purchased from our online store at www.sanon.org.

Additional information about S-Anon can be found at www.sanon.org.

Note: There is also S-Ateen, a Twelve Step recovery program for young people ages 12-19 who have been affected by the sexual behavior of someone close to them. More information about S-Ateen can be found at www.sanon.org/teen-newcomers.
