Amy Smith's Road to Recovery: Overcoming Sex Addiction and Building a Supportive Community

The message I have for women is that you are worth recovery. And if you don't believe that, you can rely on my knowledge of that until you believe that for yourself, because every woman in this world is worth that effort and that healing.
Ever wondered how one woman's struggle with sex addiction led her to create a supportive community for others? In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with Amy Smith, the founder of the Worth Recovery podcast. Amy's journey began in 2011 when she realized her troubled relationships were rooted in sex addiction. Her decision to seek help coincided with her father's terminal brain cancer diagnosis, adding another layer of complexity to her recovery.
Despite facing stigma and shame, Amy found solace in a women's 12-step group in Seattle. However, her move to Salt Lake City revealed a stark lack of resources for women battling sex addiction. Undeterred, Amy persevered, eventually creating a platform that offers mutual support and understanding. This episode delves into the unique challenges women face in sex addiction recovery and the vital role of connection and vulnerability.
Amy's story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of self-worth in overcoming addiction.
