    I had no clue why my life was such a mess!. This book is VERY accurate!
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2012*

This book changed my life and has set me free!  Patrick Carnes KNOWS what he is writing about.  The details in this book are very ACCURATE and the topic has been well studied and researched.  Studying about sexual addiction hit me so hard, caused the tears to flow, and the heart and mind to be cleansed and restructured.  When I realized I was not alone in this struggle, it helped me immensely, and made me more determined than ever to be delivered from this life-long torment.  What is sexual addiction??  It is not all about sex, as most think.  It is about love being the drug that soothes the hurts from core feelings of abandonment, loneliness and worthlessness. It is self-destructive behavior with an inability to stop.  Familiar themes in lives are family breakups, financial disaster, loss of jobs, risk to life.  Most were abused as children, either sexually, physically and/or emotionally.  A majority grew up in homes with addictions of alcoholism and compulsive behaviors, and most grapple with these addictions as well.  Sexual addiction is the MOST difficult addiction to stop due to its nature; however, it is possible to transform despair and chaos into confidence and peace, resulting in regained trust and restoration of sexual vitality to relationships and a life of self care.  What are the signs of sexual addiction??? A pattern of out-of-control behavior; severe consequences due to sexual behavior; inability to stop despite adverse consequences; persistent pursuit of self-destructive or high-risk behavior; ongoing desire or effort to limit sexual behavior; sexual obsession and fantasy as a primary coping strategy; increasing amounts of sexual experience because the current level of activity is no longer sufficient; severe mood changes around sexual activity; inordinate amounts of time spent in obtaining sex, being sexual, or recovering from sexual experience; neglect of important social, occupational, or recreational activities because of sexual behavior.  These signs get obscured by the shadows of denial, misperception, and prejudice. Addicts are powerless in that they find themselves in situations they've intended to avoid.  They lose their way and our loose culture only increases the ability to continue unnoticed.  Justification of behavior is reinforced, denial increases, and isolation exists because of the secrets and shame they carry.  New hopes and fresh starts end in failed attempts that kill any hope for change. Unworthiness causes them to reject real love and they opt for neurochemical highs of danger, risk, abuse, and pain and the temporary relief of escape. These are their survival skills. This book goes in depth about the addiction and how to take steps to recovery.  It is an EXCEPTIONAL book - and it will help you to break free!  It has been seven years for me now, and my life gets better each and every day as a result of what I have learned from this information and the actions I have taken that go along with it. Won't you step out on faith and trust that you too can be healed and have a better life?

    Remarkably informative
  

*by G***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2021*

This book is so remarkably well formatted and informative that it felt like I was reading about my own life at points. An important resource for me on a personal level. I'm structuring my written First Step around the formats of the first four chapters due to how concise it is in regards to the progression of addiction.Be aware however that as it is a fairly dated book it uses a Hard R at one point. If that offends you then just a heads up.

    My go to resource for outlining realistic recovery from sexualized behaviors not in our own best interest
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016*

I'm surprised I haven't already reviewed this book. I recommend it frequently since so many people are sexually compulsive, especially in the days of internet porn. I mainly work with people in Christian ministry and sexual compulsions are a common challenge because it is a quiet behavior, mainly involving fantasy and sexual climax unless and until more public behaviors emerge (all addictions are progressive because the same level of simulus does not give the same level of escape over time, leading to a need to escalate frequency, intensity, and so forth.)This book is a little overwhelming for some in ministry because it addresses a whole range of sexualized behaviors, but the beauty of it is that it provides a clear road map of what recovery and escape looks like, based on tracking the journeys of 200 people in recovery. (Compulsions is an easier word to accept than addictions for many. The point in either case is that we do things not in our own best interest and continue to do so over time.)There are many takeaways I find very valuable, including a realistic timeline--1 year minimum to get over the worst part, 3 years to get to a point where there is not just recovery but also growth, and 5 years to recovery if all goes well. Of course, relapses happen, but the journey remains the same. Each step forward makes escape a more realistic possibility.Many just don't have the commitment to read this book. I recommend it more than less explicit, smaller, gentler guides.
