Answers in the Heart: Daily Meditations for Men and Women Recovering from Sex Addiction (Hazelden Meditations)

I love this book. It's been a huge help to me and my recovery from addiction. There are quotes that start every devotional thought that are very inspirational points of view from not just Christian thoughts. The devotionals have so much wisdom and insight that one needs to recover from their addiction. Take time to soak these in through times of prayer with you Higher Power and know that thee is hope for you. The end of the devotionals have a perfect summary of what you just read. It's been extremely helpful for me to write these affirmation down on a 3x5 card to remember what inspired me about the devotional. This book is must have for anyone in recovery and contains hope for a better life and renewed sense of self image and lots of encouragement that you are not alone in this struggle.

I really enjoyed this devotional. I am going to start it over again. I provides lots of things to consider as you trudge the road of happy destiny.

I was introduced to Answers in the Heart through SAA. It's been an important tool in my recovery. I've read it for four years now. It provides encouragement and hope and has been helpful in my healing journey. I highly recommend it as a tool for anyone genuinely seeking recovery from unwanted, compulsive, sexual habits.

I bought this book beginning my recovery for sex and love addiction. The love addiction is the addiction to romantic intrigue/romantic obsession. This book focuses on the compulsive sexual behavior addiction, not a love addiction though. If there were such a daily meditation book out there I may have bought that instead, until then... The book is a great meditation book for those in recovery, and more specifically, recovery from compulsive sexual behavior. The daily meditations are written by individuals in recovery themselves. There is a quote at the top of the page related to the topic, some content on the topic written by folks in recovery, and really pretty good. Then lastly, there is a daily prayer related to the topic.

This book offers daily meditations that feel like someone reaching out, gently, on tougher days. The writing is honest and raw, acknowledging failure and shame without judgment—and offering a hand toward hope and resilience. What stands out most is its consistency: even on days when I don’t want to read anything heavy, there’s a short reflection I can engage with. Over time, those small moments accumulate. The book doesn’t offer quick fixes or million-dollar solutions, but it fosters reflection and emotional presence. If I have one critique, it’s that after many months, some entries feel a bit similar— themes of acceptance, surrender, self-compassion repeat. But in recovery, repetition can also be grace. For anyone doing the work, this is a steady, encouraging ally.

I honestly think that every person in America should read this book. There's more truth in it about how we objectify each other and how falsely we perceive relationship in this book than many others I've read, and it's a daily sort of meditation on helpful, healthy, healing truths.
