Sobriety is critical for me in my recovery, and even though I attend some other 12-Step groups that deal with sex addiction, I find that without a bottom line definition of sobriety, it doesn’t work for me. It seems to promote a progressive denial of the addiction. My original home group was in Camarillo, and the acceptance, care, and honesty of the group was critical for me at a time of great suffering and self-recognition. I will always be grateful for the experience of that group starting me on my recovery.
