Help for Women

[StMariaPray4Us]

I have a very close friend who happens to be very very Catholic like me. She has confided in me that she is suffering an addiction to masturbation. There are a lot of Catholic websites that offer online help for men addicted to porn and/or masturbation, but she has yet to find one specifically for women. Is she just looking in the wrong place or does such a site not exist?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. She has been dealing with this for awhile and though she admits to feeling better with going to Mass and realizing that God loves her no matter what, she wants to take the next step in getting help. This sounds like it could be a psychological issue in addition to a spiritual issue. She told me she’s sick of feeling helpless and wants anonymous, professional, Catholic help. She just doesn’t know where to go. So I’m looking for her Thank you guys and God bless!

I’ve never heard of a site geared just toward women. I would ask your priest if he knows of any sites for both sexes or for women specifically. Also, see if maybe counseling and help would be available to your friend, one on one, through the Church or some other local faith based group or individual.
