Are there any groups that deal with porn addiction recovery in the Atheist Nexus community or outside of it?
I have been attending Sex Addicts Anonymous, a 12 step program that relies on a "higher power" to keep me sober.
I would like to start a discussion group with others like me. Anyone interested or anyone who know of an existing group or forum, blog, etc.

Those groups are all about the GROUP (hence the emphasis on pluralized pronouns-"We", "us", "our"!), and the excessive mental masturbation over a "higher power". Try S.O.S. (Secular Organizations for Sobriety), or SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training). Those groups focus on the INDIVIDUAL and do NOT discriminate based on WHAT you are addicted to. Good Luck.
