Forgotten in the Battle with Sexual Addiction

The Journey of a Spouse

Sexual Addiction is rampant in our society. The spouse of a sex addict feels tremendous shame and often suffers from isolation, betrayal trauma, and even PTSD. This book is the story of one spouse and her journey to recovery. Interspersed is guidance for other spouses and those who support them. It is an honest and deep dive into a journey that will allow the spouse to live without fear and bitterness, whether or not their addicted spouse chooses healing.

The author, Roxanna Johnson, shares how sexual addiction affected her life, preyed upon her false beliefs, and altered her concept of God. She describes sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and even co-dependency from the perspective of experience. Johnson also shares the milestones of recovering strength, hope and even joy. She covers boundaries, honesty, forgiveness, subsequent health issues, and even intimacy.

Johnson offers tools that helped her create serenity as a spouse, as well as relationship tools for those hoping to salvage their marriage or enter another relationship. Finally, Johnson shares her recovery miracles and encourages listeners to search for their own journey’s miracles.

Phenomenal!

This book is absolutely phenomenal! It’s packed with insight and wisdom that feels both practical and profound. The principles it teaches are game-changers for navigating difficult relationships in healthier, more thoughtful ways. I found myself nodding along and feeling like I finally had language for things I’ve experienced but couldn’t quite put into words.

What I love most is how universally applicable it is—anyone, no matter their stage of life or situation, could benefit from what’s taught here. It’s not just theory, but real tools that make a difference in everyday interactions.

I can’t recommend this book enough! If you want to strengthen your relationships, set healthier boundaries, or simply understand people (and yourself) better, this is a must-read.

Vulnerable, Honest, Genuine, Story Telling

Roxanna tells the truth, and nothing but the truth. Her genuine story telling is vulnerable and has pieces for anyone who listens. I was touched by her experience, her strength, and her wisdom. She has risen above so much conflict and turmoil to deliver a beautiful story of inner strength.
