A Woman's Healing Journey is a ministry developed to help wives of sex addicts. If your husband has affairs, is addicted to pornography, struggles with same-sex attraction, you are in the right place. This ministry is run by wives or ex-wifes of sex addicts who desire to help other wives of sex addicts.

New Programs for Husbands Battling Sexual Addiction
Three of us attended the Restarting training in North Carolina last week and we can’t say enough good stuff about what we took away from that intense time of learning that included the latest neuroscience has to offer about trauma and addiction.
In addition, Marsha met Cynthia Schoonover, the most recent addition to our Ministry Team, face to face for the first time. “What a joy to add that final dimension to our deep and growing friendship and ministry partnership,” Marsha reports. And if you’ve read Mike’s article, My Restarting, you already know the life-changing difference this program offers a recovering addict.
But in addition we want you to know that Restarting offers healing not only for the addict, but also for the trauma partners of sex addicts bear from the deep attachment wound sex addiction produces in our lives. So we are doubly-excited to tell you that in the next few months we will begin offering 12-week Restarting telephone/video support groups for women (partners) and for men (sex addicts). The mens’ groups will be facilitated by a man on his own recovery journey. These groups will enable you to benefit from the very same breakthroughs we did without ever leaving the comfort of your home.

Non-Profit Status
We are thrilled to tell you that we are now part of a Christian non-profit called Educational Support Services (ESS). Our “adoption” by ESS enables us to begin receiving tax-deductable donations. ESS has a passion to bring educational, supportive services—such as sex addiction recovery—to those who feel lost and alone with their pain. ESS founder and president, Greg Farnworth, a former pastor, shares our passion to provide relevant resources to enable Christians to face and triumph over today’s biggest threat to individuals, the family, and the Church itself. We thank God, and Greg and his Board of Directors, for supporting our work in this way.

Wounded Little Boys; Broken Grown-up Men
by Marsha Means, M.A.
"How could he do this to me? To our children? To God...and to himself?" nearly all of us cry out in the early days of discovering that the man we gave our heart and life to has shattered our world by violating the sanctity of our marriage and giving away what we believed was ours alone.

My Gratitude this Thanksgiving

On this, my 61st Thanksgiving, I have much to be thankful for. After five years as a single woman, last Saturday evening at the end of a three-day Restarting trauma and addiction recovery training in Asheville, North Carolina, my friend, Mike, became my husband.

My Restarting
by Mike Palczewski
I have waited forty years for someone in the addiction field to help me understand how and why I became addicted. I’ve craved answers that would help me understand why I always needed some type of self-medication to control my anger and to cope with the normal stresses of life and a career. But most of all, I wanted to know if I could ever stop using and still be able to cope and have a life that included joy, love, and happiness.
