Addiction has nothing to do with withdrawals if you’re talking about something like, for example, the physical symptoms of getting off heroin, which I’ve been through. Addiction is a behavior you continue to engage in despite the real world harm it causes.

That’s helpful. Thank you. I have a very similar issue that I’ve been dealing with for some time. Mine specifically relates to pornography but overall it’s called sex addiction. It’s been very bad for me too. I’d spend hours doing it and usually used drugs and/or alcohol as an “enhancer”. It’s had some devastating consequences including depression, attempted suicide and problems in my marriage. But I’ve found something that’s helped quite a bit called Smart Recovery. It’s a science and evidence based approach to addiction; any addiction, including drugs and alcohol. It’s much different than AA where they believe that no one can recover on their own without believing that god is the only one that can help and you have to give yourself over to “his will”. I don’t believe in god and find their approach bullshit. But I know it helps some people and that’s what really counts. It’s just not for me. Smart has daily meetings online and you’ll find occasional ones in person in your area if they’re available. Search for Smart Recovery meetings and you’ll find a page listing all the meetings they have for that day. You can filter different things like language, adults or family, and location (which obviously doesn’t matter online). They also have a workbook with their principals and exercises you can do. When you join an online meeting you don’t have to give your real name or be on camera or even say anything. And some of the moderators are fantastic. You’re free to attend as many different meetings as you want to find a group that works for you. You should try it out. I’ll be glad to answer any more questions if you have them. And one last thing, I’ve had plenty of great sex and yet still found the pull of this to be overwhelming. So keep in mind you can still have a hot partner willing to do anything and still suffer from this. Hope you have a good day. And another last thing, lol, is that this is a complicated issue where you obviously can’t abstain from jerking off and having sex. It allows you to engage with those things in a much more healthy way.

He’s an incompetent fuck that has no idea what he’s doing and probably uses an Elon Musk trained version of Grok to make every decision.

You don’t have to worry about a damn thing for a few years. Enjoy yourself.

Damn. That’s more than I make in a whole year!

You should notice in his apology letter he said he accepts the criticism for his actions but not the consequences. He, and his legal team, went over this letter a hundred times before it was released.

I’m waiting for the picture of him without sunglasses and his hair shaved off.

Have you heard of ethics?

Did you spit out the cum between dicks?

I know. And that pisses me off even more.

What does NNN and HP mean?

Trapped upside down in a very tight vertical passage deep inside a cave with no way to get out.

I was wondering about what Wittgenstein means by symbols in his ideas about language.

I’m a little concerned about his comment “Also, I fucking love it”. But I’m also confused about the next sentence where he talks about watching squirrels play.

Cell phones, AI, and religion.

I’m going to go ballistic if I have to pick out all the pictures of fucking crosswalks one more time.

I guess his tranquilizers wore off.

Let’s all bow down to our idiotic president. It’s depressing how little pushback there is to this kind of shit.

I’d check her out.

How could god let them down? Lol.
