Literally read it in 2 days. I am very glad to have found this book because they’re is still not a lot of material on this subject, surprisingly considering how many women and couples are struggling with this new addiction. It provides great tools and insights into how to take care of yourself first of all and then to be kind to your partner by stopping the hatred cycle. The only thing I wish she touched more on is her husbands recovery journey or maybe having other peoples stories anonymously shared, so we can se the depths and things others have experienced and dealt with. I’m not married but none the less it is helpful if you want to understand the subject with a new and hopeful perspective.

Just What I Needed

This was very well written. It felt like one long therapy session. Sandy really understood what the reader was going through and gives so many tools on not only dealing with the issue at hand but moving forward!

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book from the sex addicts partners point of view. There is so much shame and secrecy around sex addiction, even among addiction recovery peers, making it difficult for the partner of an addict to find adequate support. Sandy Brown breaks down the science of sex addiction and the damage it does to the addicts partner. She then offers empowering yet compassionate steps to facilitate the partners recovery. Thank you, Sandy Brown, for this gift!

a woman goes out of town with a gal pal and something (not worth mentioning) happens, so, she calls hubs, two hours away to come be with her, he does not respond?

later, after returning home he asks her to look at his electronic device as he his not tech savvy, and she finds adult content! she flips.

this shares the stages of grief and ways to handle the situation. he falls back into it. occasional insight, occasional swearing.

Such a good perspective on the effects of this addiction and what it does to families and marriages. As a man that has dealt with this addiction myself it was important for me to read Sandy’s experience strength and hope. Thank you for your contribution to this world and I hope this brings healing to many families and finally puts an end to this awful addiction.
