Sex becomes a way to escape your feelings and responsibilities. An important first step is to first admit you are powerless over addictive sexual behavior-that your life has become unmanageable. You cannot let addiction win. I am free from sex addiction Sex addiction will no longer control my life I am dedicated to overcoming my addiction to sex I am always in control of my sexual urges I am no longer seeing others as sex objects I am living a life free from sex addiction I am developing a strong will power I find it easy to say NO to my own sexual urges I am 100% in control of my own life I have a healthy attitude towards sex I forgive myself for what I have done For most people, sexual fantasies and behaviors are pathways to fun, happiness, and intimate connection.

Their belief systems, their self-esteem, their relationships suffer, all thanks to their addiction.
