Synopsis

Are you worried your spouse is a sex addict? You're not alone, there are estimated to be 16,000,000 people who exhibit this addiction. This book offers you a path out after discovery all the way to recovery. Emma Dawson was worried and when she confronted it, she found out her worst fears were real. Her husband was a sex addict. He'd had dozens of affairs and worse... His behavior was destructive, persistant and escalating. She felt trapped, alone, afraid and more... But now... after education and support, she realized she was not alone. Her desire to help others who are currently in or suffering the devastating effects of loving a sex addict inspired her to write this book. Let her experience help you! Emma sought to educate herself about sex addiction. She learned that its potential for devastation is at least as strong as that of other, more familiar addictions, such as drug, gambling or alcohol addiction. These addicts are attempting to manage feelings of anger, loneliness and emptiness. Those who are in a relationship with such an addict will find them to be selfish, needy and preoccupied. Review: Emma Dawson has stepped forward to break the secrecy that surrounds sexual addiction and co-addiction. Courageously, she reveals her personal struggle to understand how her husband s addiction was not about her and not about any personal inadequacy. Dawson validates the experience of millions of Americans who have lived with sexual addiction. My Secret Life with a Sex Addict lifts the partner guilt that accompanies this insidious disorder and all its accompanying denial. This important book offers both understanding and hope. It will begin the healing process for many. Sensitively written, Dawson s book not only teaches us much about sexual addiction, it also confirms there is a way out. ----Geral Blanchard, co-author
