Welcome to Recovery Nation. Within this site exists self-help resources that cannot be found anywhere else. Each resource was built to assist you in understanding the sex, love and porn addictions in such a way as to facilitate a permanent recovery and/or healing process.

Few issues in our society are as misunderstood, mismanaged and mistreated as is the current approach to the sex, love and/or porn addictions. Much too often, the shock, fear, confusion, disgust and ignorance that drives the perceptions of these behaviors takes the primary role in guiding the recovery response as well. This applies to those engaging in compulsive sexual behavior as well as their partners. And even many who treat them. This community exists to help you help yourself. It offers a comprehensive foundation of health-based education; a sincere community to provide objectivity and support; professional coaching for those who seek a more intensive, personal approach to recovery and/or healing; and, the collective thoughts and experiences of thousands who have been where you are now.

Recovery Nation is a Health-Based Recovery site. This means that the focus of your efforts will be on issues involving value development, life management skills, emotional maturity, etc. This, as opposed to the more traditional disease-based model that is geared towards managing one's addiction, rather than one's life. That does not mean that you will not be focusing on the compulsive behavior--quite the contrary. By the end of the workshop, you will each have developed a functional understanding of addiction that will allow you to put both addiction and recovery within the scope of a transition to health. It doesn't matter if you don't know what I am talking about now, should you continue on through the free workshops--you will.

Within this site exists many resources for you to use on your transition to health and they are all based on establishing a permanent foundation for change. Additionally, community support is available from many who have been where you are now--both as a person seeking to end an addiction or a partner seeking to understand what it is they are facing. But, and this is critical, you will have to provide the sincerity and the effort. You will have to challenge yourself to change. To master skills that to this point you have never learned or felt the need to develop. You will need to find the courage to face an uncertain future--braced solely by your desire for change. You will need to develop the awareness to ask the questions that need asking and to identify the obstacles that only you know exist. This goes for both partners and those in recovery. And finally, you will need to be active in your approach. This means doing more than just reading...it means actively mastering what you will be learning about.

Why is everything free?

Well, first...not everything is free. This site was developed as a privately-funded gift to society and has evolved through the donations of those it has served. There are some resources that because of the personal investment (professional coaching; audio workshop files) and/or financial investment (recovery manager; recovery checklist), necessitate a fee. But, these additional tools will only facilitate your recovery and/or healing. Everything a sincere person needs to fully understand these addictions and to fully transition from addiction to health are indeed free. As are the tools that every partner needs to regain control and stability in their lives. Whether you are here seeking help for your sexually compulsive behavior, a partner seeking insight into the behavior of another, or a couple assessing whether or not your relationship can be rebuilt--the tools you need are here. And they are free.

The following are some of the tools offered on Recovery Nation:
