I am an addict, I cannot deny it. Yeah I hide it, don’t always acknowledge it, hell sometimes u see it but don’t realize its my struggle.
It’s been about 15 years since the last time I used my drug of choice. Looking back those last few uses, though they were 1 time and to help me stay awake on the road, they were still relapse. Stimulants were my thing in high school/late teens. Caffeine pills mainly which I occasionally traded with other pills to stay up, not awake but high energy up. I tweaked so hard that in 3 months I lost 80 pounds. I smoked weed but it’s never really been a thing to me, take it or leave it, no craving for it though.
I am an addict, a sex addict. Yes, I AM. I struggle every day of my life with my sex addiction. I’ve never done a program or support group, just tried seeing limits and boundaries for myself once my son was born. I’ve been monogamous, single partner, for about 10 years, 5 years with a casual partner, 2 years celebat, and almost 3 years with my current love.
I am not doing well lately. My man is in active addiction, drugs, and using way too often now and we barely fuck and when we do I go unfulfilled. He has health issues which limit him to once a night, but we use to make it work for both of us, but drugs are ruining everything. It has been weeks, I cant even make myself cum like I need to anymore. I’m so frustrated! I dreamed last night that I fucked a random guy…this is a first for me in yeeears. I refuse to cheat, and though I may need to break up because his addiction is toxic, I refuse to dump him just so I can fuck someone else.
So here I sat tonight scrolling through sex addiction support groups. I finally found a telephone one and after an hour of struggling to get it to work (cell phone company charges/min) I downloaded Text Now and it worked!! I don’t know if the group I found is right for me, but tonight it really helped.
More to come as my journey continues.
