This is a real issue impacting millions of individuals, marriages, and families around the globe.The impact is felt in the life of the addict and his or her surrounding family members and friends. You and the one you love can recover from the damaging effects this can have on your relationship. Whether you are an addict or the partner of an addict: you are not alone and there is hope!
There are six different types of a sex addict. The more you know about what type you are, the more successful you can be in recovery. Dr. Doug Weiss takes a look at each type, what the associated sex addiction is, and what behaviors go along with that type of addict. Visit for more information.
