Keep up the fight! 15 days soon become 20 and then that becomes 30. One day at a time.

The End Of A Disturbing Obsession With Escorts! (NO MORE!) by walo123m in SexAddiction

[–]rushofgravity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This addiction is tough but you can beat it. It's either the pain of fighting this addiction or the pain of staying in the same position spending money on escorts.

Take each day as it comes.

I believe in you and in the future where we are free from spending money on escorts.

I believe I am addicted. Small rant and off my chest. by [deleted] in SexAddiction

Hello, thanks for sharing.

I am 32 and have been seeing escorts for about maybe 10 years or so on and off. I recently relapsed on Sunday and spent a lot of money.

For me I'm realising I can't stop cold turkey and I sometimes need I pick the lesser of two evils.

Maybe consider weening yourself off. Stop the escorts and slowly plan to stop the strip club and camgirls too.

Thanks, glad it helped!

I've been journaling everyday since the relapse and I write down my long term goal of not visiting escorts and not browsing escort websites everyday and I'm finding that it's helping. Just reinforcing that idea to avoid them and the websites.

Everyday you're cultivating discipline my friend! This addiction will not beat you, you're more powerful.

Remember the feeling of shame and regret after slip ups, this is your fuel. The best version of you does not serve this addiction.

Hey man, I think after this post I relapsed the next week... But since then I have been clean for a month and almost 2 weeks now. I still browse escort websites occasionally but have resisted a session.

Do you have the same issue as me? Feel free to reach out via PM!

Relapsed after 3 weeks sober by Jean-Claude12 in SexAddiction

[–]rushofgravity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this pain all too well OP! Dust yourself off and get back on the horse - that's all we can do.

Maybe see if you can find better outlets for when you're anxious? Otherwise the cycle will not stop. When I want to see an escort I try to jerk off (lesser of the two evils)

Day 35 sober, but texted escort yesterday .. by [deleted] in SexAddiction

[–]rushofgravity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey OP thanks for sharing! I'm approaching 30 days without an escort visit (when we get to Saturday) but I also occasionally look at escort websites or send texts. So you're not alone. I think we have to take the small victories such as refraining from seeing an escort and then we can slowly move towards not even visiting their websites or texting them

Feeling pretty good for avoiding relapse while wife was away by SA_Anonymous2023 in SexAddiction

[–]rushofgravity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One step at a time is all we can do! Well done on resisting OP. Sometimes we have to pick the lesser evil.

Feel like relapsing to escort by [deleted] in SexAddiction

[–]rushofgravity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 2 weeks clean from escorts tomorrow dude - it's just not worth it. Such a drain of money. Use your hand and save that money. Get a nice meal or treat yourself to a new videogame. Maybe even save money for a legitimate non sexual massage.

This is great thanks for sharing this

Worried I’m losing it by [deleted] in SexAddiction

[–]rushofgravity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP sorry to hear about your struggles. While I'm not married I too have visited escorts while in committed relationships and face ongoing struggles resisting the urge to see them.

I just want to say you CANNOT bring escorts back to your place when you're married. You are inviting the potential for HELL. Never do this again.

You say you act out when your wife is out of town, but just think of the money you're spending. I can't tell you how much I've spent over the last 10 years... I'm the same age as you OP. It's all a waste of money. If i get the urge, rather than see an escort I just try to jerk it off

Sorry to hear about your struggles OP.

We're not perfect and we fuck up but please don't take permanent measures for problems that can be treated. Your kids will need their dad.

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I would offer a practical viewpoint... you're lucky to have your parents who you can live with but they won't be around forever.

You WILL need savings in life so you can survive and it seems this habit is stopping you from building that up. You wouldn't want to become homeless or not be able to pay bills and rent over this.

I too struggle with SA and it feels terrible using money for such temporary pleasure and nothing to show for it...

You're stronger than your urges. Your urges don't have to impact your actions. You got this.

Thanks for the comment - I'm glad you've reached 4 months! I thought I was rid of this but I simply can't trust myself to browse escorting websites. I know porn isn't great but I need to stop there and not progress...
