THIS GROUP MOVES TO THURSDAYS (FROM MONDAYS) STARTING DECEMBER 3, 2020.
Skip Speer moderates the Cruise Control Gay Men’s Drop-In support group. This is not a 12-step group or therapy; it is a place to share struggles or triumphs, to give and receive support, and to just not be alone. We want this to be a safe place for all who identify as a gay man with sex/porn addiction or co-occurring sex addiction and chemical dependency.
This group is not recorded but does allow you to turn on your video camera so you can see and be seen by others in the group. You have the option of turning off your camera to remain more anonymous if you so choose. Either way, we ask that you keep your microphone muted until you wish to speak so that any background noise is not disruptive to the group.
