Strength in Numbers - for Men and Their Wives
Strength in Numbers is a Christ and grace centered support group for men who struggle with pornography, sexual addiction and/or homosexuality. The group provides a safe place for men to share openly of their struggles with lust; pointing all to God's grace is our goal. The Colorado Springs group is led by the author of this website.
The meeting is held Monday nights at 6:30pm at the north end of the city. Strength in Numbers is not a 12 step group, nor does it follow a program. The group is not for women, and outside observers are not allowed to participate. All who live in the greater Colorado Springs area, as well as those who might be traveling and wanting support for the night are welcome to attend.
After opening the meeting with prayer we ask everyone to be accountable with any issues involving pornography, lust in the mind, masturbation, sex outside of marriage and/or any inappropriate relationships since their last meeting. We invite the men to discuss how they are doing in their marriages and other key relationships, as lust affects these areas. Our mutual transparency and the grace we extend to each other in our weakness bonds us together in a way few experience.
In the last 10 minutes of our time together we all pray for each other, keeping in mind the needs and struggles that have been shared. We've seen the Lord work miracles in the lives of men and their families, just from prayer alone!

I believe I was led to your site by the Lord. I recently found out my hasband has cheated on me throughout our entire marriage with many women,online sites, craigslist ads, and a two year affair to a woman in our Karate school who was also married. I found sex videos in a secrect e mail account that one of his mistress gave me (after I found out the affair was continuing). When he confessed all of this to me the first time I felt the Holy Spirits peace, we started working on our marriage or looking back at the last five months it was I who was working on the marriage by trying to keep up with his sex drive. I was called by the womans husband Jan. to find out that the affair was still going on even after my baby was born I was pregnant with our fourth child when he told me about his sex problems...I could not believe this...It is devastating, and yes he blames me for the affair because I do not do certain sex acts such as sodemy. or give it to him when he wants it... One of the videos I found is of those two doing this most disgusting act. I am trying to recover from this but am having the most difficult time. I need to find a support group but have no idea who. My church is praying for us but they have no one for him and I to speak with and I cannot afford to pay a Christian therapist. Are there any support groups in the North Dallas Texas area?
ANOTHER NAME FOR SEX ADDICT IS LACK OF SELFCONTROL.
I want to start a group for women, and wives who are dealing with this. I want to help women get through this. I have dealt with this for 11 years in my marriage, and I want to help other women. Please advise on how I can get started with an internet blog, or group. Thank you.
I am a wife of a sex addict. He does not want help. we have been married for 24 years and I've know all that time and we've faught all that time. I'm so tired I want to leave. I think I still love him if I'm writing to you. Where can I get help to live my life I need help even if he does not want to seek help. I am a christian I do have a very close relationship to God but lately the battle is rageing in my mind and I need that extra support. Please let me know.
I live in Phoenix Arizona
