Sex Addicts Anonymous

Storyline

Marlene, Laura, and Bianca all sit in a circle. They eye each other warily before shifting their gaze to Robert, a charming, handsome and sympathetic-looking man. Robert says he's a sex addict. Laura sits in silence but it becomes clear that she's not just watching the party, but staring at one guy in particular as he laughs and jokes along with a pretty girl across the room. She looks on with a bit of envy, clearly wishing she could take the place of the girl he's talking to. Teen Bianca is giggling wildly and gasping at the outrageous things her boyfriend is saying on the other end of the line, which seem like provocative sexual advances. Marlene is fussing when her boyfriend, Tom, comes up behind her and puts his hands comfortingly on her shoulders. Just relax, he tells her, she just needs to breathe and not stress out so much. She tells him she can't help but be worried - this is her one chance to reconnect with Alyssa, and she doesn't want to screw it up
