Indiana S-Anon are small groups founded and continued by members who were desperately searching for a way to survive what had become an unmanageable life. By creating this website we are hoping to reach those individuals who have been living with or have lived with a sex addict or sexaholic in their life and need a program to help them rediscover who they are.

We want you to recover the feeling of joy which in these dark times seems so impossible to find.

We are here to support each other in a non-denominational, non-judgmental, open minded group that have all been through something similar. There are no professionals, just experiences. We welcome you to try our program as you did not cause the disease of sex addiction and can only control your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. From this day forward we are here for you.
