I'm addicted to this hobby and want out. Any suggestions? Any good programs out there? Such a love/hate relationship. Does nothing for my self esteem.
Get Married, if u aren’t… A healthy break from hobby before you are back next time, with less guilt and less addiction and maybe, increased vigour..
Not aware of any renowned programs out there ( like Alcohol anonymous), although it might help to join related groups/threads.
Sometimes the way to liberation, is the way to not avoid it but to rather face it. In that case, listening to deep philosophy(eg. by Osho) or psychology (eg. Jordan Peterson) might help u understand yourself better as to what triggers u, why it triggers u, and how u can desensitize urself to those triggers..

If the philosophy/psychology (as in my previous post) doesn’t help, then
As they also say, to get rid of a hobby, substitute it with a new hobby which releases similar levels of hormones (eg. Action Video Games)
This works if ur triggers are coming from watching screen eg. phone/TV/laptop.
But if u are getting triggers without screen, means probably u are fantasizing too often and playing it out on your mind screen- then Meditation (Vipassana Meditation) might help..

VR porn tides me over so I am not spending a fortune on providers.

I feel you, Bro
I don't do drugs, I don't drink alcohol but I'm addicted to women!
3-4 years ago, I was addicted AF. I decided to retire to protect my finances. It lasted 6 months but honestly, I was miserable during that entire 6 months.
I came out of retirement, now I still hobby but less.
The addiction is still there but it's under control.
I slowed way down due to the pandemic and have been slow to restart. Financially it’s been been a blessing. Nowadays I’ve been so busy with work that seeing SW has become a low priority. I come here for the laffs and I will partake if someone really catches my eye but it’s been a small fraction of my former activity and I like it that way. Anything that is allowed to dominate a disproportionate part of your life is unhealthy. Spring is here, start doing something else for yourself. Pick up a nice bike and cycle, go for long walks, volunteer somewhere. Anything.
Is this the response of a terb member who is actually married? Or is it the response of a married hippo? Juuuussstttt kiddddddin'! Of course, the failings of many marriages is what prompts a considerable number of terbites hobby.Get Married, if u aren’t… A healthy break from hobby before you are back next time, with less guilt and less addiction and maybe, increased vigour..

That amounts to substituting one compulsive behaviour for another. Excessive gaming can also ruin your life.
Sport/training is a good substitute.
What cured me from seeing many sp is deception and boredom. I came to a point were the girls did not made me cum for 3 sessions in a row. So I was able to cut to about 1 girl per 2/3 months now and it's much better. I cum like a teenager within 10 minutes but I don't really care
I agree. When you suffer addiction, any one. If you do not "fix" the root, you will just switch from one to the other...
I'm sorry, but did anyone else see the Sex Anonymous group and think, "might be a great place to pick up"? Perhaps a sure sign of sex addiction.
Lmao that’s actually pretty common.
A lot of people try to pick up at anonymous groups
I agree. You did raise a very valid point, “Considerable Number” . At the same time, I do know of “few” who have been in a very long term relationship and still are, yet are involved in this hobby, their logic being that they are bored and thus indulge in hobby for a change, but are not too addicted, their reason being- Marriage. Not sure if they are hiding some truth.
So, statistically U win, although I don’t have the stats.
My 50 cents were based on the assumption of relationship status being single, as it was not mentioned in original post. I may be wrong..
