Sex is at the core of our identities. And when it becomes a compulsion, it can unravel our lives. Out of the Shadows is the premier work on this disorder, written by a pioneer in its treatment. Revised and updated to include the latest research - and to address the exploding phenomenon of cybersex addiction - this third edition identifies the danger signs, explains the dynamics, and describes the consequences of sexual addiction and dependency. With practical wisdom and spiritual clarity, it points the way out of the shadows of sexual compulsion and back into the light and fullness of life.

I was struggling with addiction and trying to overcome it blindly. After my wife told me I needed to read it I did. It helped me see my problem in ways I hadn't seen it before which allowed me to address many issues and confront many problems. I have listened to this 2 times and read the book once. Through this book I also realized the importance of 12 steps. Invaluable. wish I discovered it sooner.
