I don't have an answer to that, but you might look for chat and Skype meetings at fellowships like cosa-recovery.org/www.coslaa.org/sanon.org/coda.org/I live in the boonies and can't always drive, and I've benefited from chat meetings for addicts. I can't comment on any of those fellowships from direct experience, and in any fellowship, every meeting is autonomous and potentially different, but you might find people to share with even if not every aspect of the teaching was congenial.

Dear LadyP,
There is this site, and I also read www.marriedtoasexaddict.com where we tell our stories and support one another. That is a safe haven where you can bare your soul. Addicts are not permitted to post.
I think the support of other women who have walked this path is crucial. Therapists who have not walked this path do not "get it." Only someone who has experienced this can possibly understand and help to guide you through. I've just finished re-reading Barbara Steffens and Marsha Means "Your Sexually Addicted Spouse" and I think there is a tremendous amount of wisdom there as can only be written by women who've walked this path. I would urge you to re-read it, slowly, savoring every word and while you do, attempt to create an action plan. I've always found that I feel better when I'm taking action. I sink into the depths of depression when I feel I have no alternatives, no possibility of escape, like I'm a trapped animal. Prepare a reasonable plan of action and execute it.
My best to you, DW
