There are a number of Online and Face-to-Face support groups in Australia that are run on a volunteer basis, and typically follow the 12-Step tradition as originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous, but which have been adapted to porn/sex/love addiction.
Sex & Love Addiction Anonymous – Australia
Sex & Love Addiction Anonymous (SLAA) states the following on their website:
“Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) is open to anyone who believes they have a problem with sex addiction, porn addiction, love addiction, romantic obsession, co-dependent relationships, fantasy addiction as well as sexual, social and emotional anorexia.
If you have a desire to be free from sex and love addiction, all SLAA meetings welcome newcomers – you can just show up. Please join us at one of the face-to-face, phone or online meetings listed on this site.
Anonymity is critical to the foundation of recovery. Accordingly, meetings are normally closed to outsiders and those who are merely curious. However, anyone who fears they may have this problem will be welcome, as long as the anonymity of the persons attending the meeting is respected. We maintain confidentiality and refrain from disclosing names or identifying group members outside the meeting.”
Sexaholics Anonymous – Australia
https://www.sa.org/f2f/australia/
Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) states the following on their website:
“Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop lusting and become sexually sober. There are no dues or fees for SA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
SA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organisation, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sexually sober and help others to achieve sexual sobriety.
Sexaholics Anonymous is a recovery program based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and received permission from AA to use its Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in 1979.”
Co-dependants Anonymous – Australasia
https://www.codependentsanonymous.org.au
Co-dependants Anonymous states the following on their website:
“Partners of porn or sex addicts often feel ‘trapped’ in a dysfunctional and unhealthy relationship and need just as much support as the addict.
Co-dependants Anonymous offers support to partners of porn and sex addicts and states the following on their website:
“Co-dependents Anonymous (CoDA) is a worldwide network of groups of men and women who share the common purpose of learning how to develop and maintain healthy and fulfilling relationships.
Co-Dependence could be described as a condition born of losing connection with our authentic self, thereby losing the ability to share our true self with others and be in healthy intimate relationships.”
S-Anon Australia
Support for partners, family and friends of sex addicts
S-Anon states the following on their website:
S-Anon Australia is a fellowship of partners, family and friends of sex addicts. We are a 12-step program of recovery for those affected by someone else’s sexual behaviour.
S-Anon is not allied with any religion, political party, organisation or institution. There are no fees for S-Anon membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
S-Anon is an anonymous program. That means that we do not discuss who we see at meetings, or what is said there, even with our partners.
If you have been hurt by a sex addict we understand as perhaps few others can. We too were lonely and frustrated; but in S-Anon we have found that there is no situation too difficult to be bettered and no unhappiness too great to be lessened.
