Hi, my name is Mari, and I’m a sex addict. For years, I convinced myself my behavior was normal, even though a part of me knew something wasn’t right. It wasn’t until my two best friends gently questioned my choices and encouraged me to reach out for help that I finally stopped to take a closer look at myself.
In November 2024, I began working with a CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist), and that was the start of my sobriety journey, even though I didn’t recognize it as that at the time.
I created Sobriety Notes as a personal space to document my experience, share my growth, and shed light on an addiction that doesn’t get talked about enough, especially when it comes to women. My hope is that by sharing my story, others who struggle will know they’re not alone, and that recovery, while messy and imperfect, is possible.
