We are excited to announce the launch of the Ridgeback Recovery YouTube channel, @RidgebackRecovery!


In our first video, we break down a critical topic: the 10 criteria for addiction, focusing specifically on sex addiction. Many people struggle with compulsive sexual behavior, and understanding the diagnostic criteria is the essential first step toward recovery and seeking help.


The video clearly explains the signs and symptoms, including:

  • Loss of Control

  • Compulsive Behavior

  • Efforts to Stop

  • Loss of Time

  • Obsession

  • Inability to Fulfill Obligations

  • Preoccupation

  • Escalation

  • Losses

  • Withdrawal

If you or a loved one are experiencing three or more of these signs, you may have a problem, and we want you to know that help is available.


The new @RidgebackRecovery channel will be a resource for in-depth discussions relevant to sex addiction, sex addiction recovery, and the often complex intersection of these behaviors with sex offenses that have legal consequences.


Subscribe to @RidgebackRecovery today to watch the full video and stay informed.
