Your boyfriend is a sex addict He says his problem is lust Is there a 12 step group he can find help from?

Its great that he knows he has a problem. Sex addiction is a disease much like Alcoholism. The best treatment is a combination of 12 step work, individual counseling, group therapy, good nutrition, exercise and a spiritual program. Statistically if he can add all of these to his life, he has an 85% chance of recovery.
There are several sex addiction 12 step groups. I recommend L.A. or Lustaholics Anonymous. Their web site is sexaddictionhelp.org It runs much like an AA group. Anyone can do their program regardless of religion, sexual orientation, race, gender, or marital status. They have a great success rate if you can show up and follow the steps.
There are people there with 15 years of sobriety. What is sobriety? Freedom from the obsession to lust. This includes masterbation, voyurism, affairs, infidelity, love addiction.
I would also encourage you to get help for your self. Sex addicts and love addicts and lust addicts do better if their family or significant other also gets involved in recovery. The organization for the family members would be CODA or S-Anon. The web address for S-anon is sanon.org or also serenitysite.orgh
Good luck. You can have a loving meaningful relationship if both of you are willing to change.

If you need a support group to figure out what your problem is how do you know which one is for you?
make a list of what you feel your deepest problems are. Make another list of what if any spiritual beliefs you have. Each support groups have guidlines that they believe in match up your list with what they have on offer. If your ideas don't fit into the mainstream maybe look at a group that is more alternative based.I would start with the most prominent issue and even if you find the support group you choose is not just right for you take courage to try another. As they say you have to go to a bad restaurant to know you don't want to go again. Maybe you have to give a few support groupsn a try till you find the one that speaks your language. Trust in your gut feeling! A simple straightforward answer is : Support groups don't "figure out" your problems. You need to see a professional, get diagnosed with a problem, then find the appropriate support group (usually can be recommended by the professional). Support groups can be very helpful, but you need to know what the problem is FIRST. GOOD LUCK.
Life is an experiment The more experiments the better?
Life is indeed largely experimental in nature; it is an ongoing process of learning what works and what doesn't, however, it is not true that the more experiments the better. There are some experiments that you should not be making. I was just commenting today, in reply to an earlier question, that you should not try cocaine just to find out what it is like, because that creates a possibility that you will become a cocaine addict, which is a very unhappy outcome, whereas if you never take cocaine, you will never become a cocaine addict. And there are many other things that you are better off not trying. What does it feel like to lose a finger? You don't really need to find out.

Your boyfriend and you fight a lot and he won't take you back this time what should you do?
If you and your boyfriend fight a lot you guys aren't meant for each other in this relationship. But if you want to stay together you have to talk to each other and find a solution to your problem because not talking to each other won't solve anything for you OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP. So what I would do in a problem like this is talk to a cheap therapist so you can find out your problem.
