Excellant book

This is a wonderful, hopeful book for those living with someone with sexual addiction. It helped me understand it's not my fault. Explains behaviors and why they occur. The book got me through a really rough period in my life. Would recommend it to anyone who has sexual addiction in their relationship.

A needed book for codependents

The author provides very valuable information about sex addicts and about codependents. Her personal story gives readers a chance to be cautious if they are faced with a relationship with a sex addict. She gives complete descriptions of codependent behavior. What I liked best was the spiritual touch of the book. She emphasizes the importance of having a relationship with God and using prayer to stay on the right track. If you are involved in relatinship with a sex addict, or if you know someone who is, this book is helpful. Although the author's relationship with the sex addict ended, she doesn't believe it has to be that way.

Must-read for COSA's

This is the best book I have read, so far. I have read most out there - but this is the first I read that wasn't geared towards understanding the addict. This one sure helped me understand, but it's a book for ME - a CO-Sex Addict. It's short, concise, and easy to understand. Some books get a bit technical for my liking. I don't want to know statistics - I want to heal! Good luck, and take care of you! Don't forget you are not alone. [...]

Love, Infidelity, and Sexual Addiction: A Codependent's Perspective

This book gives a very good insight into sexual addiction and the cause. It also covers in depth the role of the codependent.It is written in a very straightforward manner and easy to understand. A good book for anyone looking for information on sexual addition.

First choice read for those in relationship with sex addict.

After reading many other books about sexual addiction, I was becoming learned about the addiction and why my significant other may have gone down the path to sexual addiction. What I wasn't understanding was ME. Then I found this book. I feel Love, Infidelity and Sexual Addiction (A CoDependent's Perspective) should be the first book read by anyone struggling with being in a relationship with a sex addict. It certainly helped me understand MY emotion and behaviors instead of the addict's emotions and behaviors. Who CAN we try to help after all; only ourselves. (Keep the focus on yourself) It's more important to first make the choice to be personally healthy and then "try" to understand the addict's behaviors. This is a must read.
