It depends on where you live. In Sacramento there is a group called Lustaholics Anonymous which really follows all the traditions of AA. They are called LA and even have a web site. Their sobriety definition doesn't allow any pornography, masturbation or sex outside of a committed marriage. They actually have some success stories.Health Question & Answer
I'm not certain about the 12-step part
Newlife.com (1-800-NEWLIFE) holds week-end seminars and has books and materials to assist men away from sexual / porn addiction. In the seminars there are low ratios of clients per licensed counselor experienced in sexual addiction recovery. These seminars are held in various cities in the US. Newlife is a Christian based Counseling organization with 100's of counselors nationwide.
Celebrate Recovery (often sponsored by churches) is a 12-step recovery-group for various generic difficulties. I have heard that some are more specific to particular addictions or behaviors. They have a series of 4 recovery books in their program.Health Question & Answer
