Sex and Love
Addiction: 37 Questions for Self Diagnosis:
The following questions
are designed to be used as guidelines to identifying possible signposts
of sex and love addiction. They are not intended to provide a sure-fire
method of diagnosis, nor can negative answers to these questions provide
absolute assurance that the illness is not present. Many sex and love
addicts have varying patterns which can result in very different ways of
approaching and answering these questions. Despite this fact, we have
found that short, to-the-point questions have often provided as
effective a tool for self-diagnosis as have lengthy explanations of what
sex and love addiction is. We appreciate that the diagnosis of sex and
love addiction is a matter that needs to be both very serious and very
private. We hope that these questions will prove helpful. excerpted ©
