I wish to extend my appreciation for the book that you sent to me. The information that I have gotten from the book has shown me that your program would be a big plus in my future. I will notify you upon my release.

I don’t know where to begin. At last I have found that I have a choice. There is a way of recovery and there are others who not only can, but are willing to help me. For the first time in my life I have hope! Thank you! I am a sexaholic, and I have been for a very long time. Thank you very much for the White Book as well.

I currently am in prison as a direct result of my addiction. I knew I had a real problem with my sexual behavior even before I came to prison, but I did not know what the problem was, or even if it had a name. I hit bottom when I entered the prison system two years ago. I lost my wife, three children and everything I owned, which added up to everything I cared anything about. This is when I realized I could no longer keep living my life the way I had in the past. I knew something was definitely wrong and I became hellbent on finding out what it was. I went to all the prison doctors and counselors thinking that they would help me find out what my problem was. But to my surprise they all assured me that there was nothing wrong with me that nine years in jail couldn’t fix!

I did not let this slow down my search for understanding and help. I knew I was a real sick puppy, because I couldn’t stop acting out for any length of time, no matter how hard I tried. This is when I realized my life would never be worth anything to me or anyone else until I found my problem and started overcoming it. About a year and a half ago I bought two books on sexual addiction. I realized after reading them that I was a sex addict. That is when I started looking for help from 12-Step groups. Because I am in prison the only groups I can attend are the AA and NA groups. So I bought their recovery books and started attending meetings. I can relate to some of the things said in their books and groups because I too am addicted to a drug. My drug is called lust! But these groups do not and cannot fulfill my needs as a sex addict because they will not allow me to talk about my addiction in the groups.

When I received your book Sexaholics Anonymous I knew I had found my home. This is what I have been looking for and have needed for a long time. Please help me make contact with members of your fellowship by mail. I desperately need contact with other recovering sexaholics like myself to be able to share and relate to others. I am asking for your help. I would greatly appreciate any help, aid or guidance you may afford me. I cannot say this strongly enough. Please help me!

With sincerity and in fellowship,
