Sexual Addiction Support Groups
(It is strongly encouraged that individuals seeking to break free from pornography or sexual addiction attend a weekly support group meetings. This is not an addiction you can defeat on your own.)
Walking Free
A typical Walking Free meeting begins in a large group setting with a time of worship, testimony and teaching. Men then divide up into safe and structured small groups of six to eight for sharing and accountability. Small group time closes with prayer for each man. When you come to Walking Free, expect an environment of acceptance and grace in which men can be honest and real with one another. You can also expect to be understood and encouraged, as well as challenged and held accountable.
Pure Desire
Pure Desire offers Christian-focused support groups for men in a comfortable and confidential environment.

Journey groups give women a safe place to: Grieve with others who can identify with their pain. Grow in identifying and expressing emotions.
