Help for Compulsive Shoplifting & Sex Addiction
by Anonymous
(Canada)
Do you have any recommendations for treatment resources for compulsive shoplifting and sex addiction in the Toronto area?
-------------------------------------------------------------
You would have to do an internet search for this, but for free services, there are 12-step programs. Find out if there are any Sex Addict Anonymous (SAA) programs in your area.
You'll have less luck with compulsive shoplifting, because there is little empathy for breaking the law. If you've been caught numerous times, you may be mandated into treatment.
A group for OCD could also be effective. Ask your family doctor or a psychiatrist about it. Anti-anxiety medication can help you with stress as well.
I hope this is helpful
