Addiction help

[GusTheRussianBarber]

Any tip/suggestion to get out of this addiction?

I can relate to your anxiety. I was caught... it was not easy. More power to you.

First piece of advice? Stop thinking of it as an addiction. It is a choice. It might be a choice you've conditioned yourself to see as an addiction, or it may be a choice you're scared to give up, or it may be a choice that fate has led you to, but it is a choice. You can stop.

I worked the Sex Addicts Anonymous program for years. It's worth looking into. If you or anyone else have questions about it, DM me. It's not a silver bullet insta-fix, but has helped a lot of people who put in the time and effort to make it work.

Since then, I've also been working on writing a book to help folks trying to break the cycle. It's particularly intended for people who find the religious context of traditional 12-step programs challenging. For those interested in this, also DM me.

Keeping & seeing only one escort while going into debt is not smart. A friend did something like this years ago and was about 20K in debt. He then went cold turkey until he cleared his debt. And in your situation with a family you won't be able to hide your debt forever. Just quit cold turkey and whenever the urge hits think of you family and then grab your wife and bang her instead.

I did.
But OP is addicted to booking providers.
What does Ozempic have to do with it?
PS: The loss of appetite is how Ozempic works, by reducing blood sugar and slowing gastric emptying and may be that had a secondary effect on alcohol consumption due to feeling full all the time. But Ozempic would be the wrong drug for alcohol addiction as well.

'' GLP-1 RAs appear to blunt the reward mechanism, the dopamine rush that comes with a reward, say researchers like Mansur. That could change how people feel desire, pleasure and motivation. ''

In relation to drinking, smoking etc.,
A big stretch to say that it will help with booking providers.

You don't think he is addicted to the dopamine rush of the experience?

I don’t think it’s accurate to reduce this kind of compulsive behavior to just a dopamine rush.
There may be deeper emotional, psychological, and situational factors at play.
Ozempic is a metabolic drug - its main effects are on blood sugar, gastric emptying, and weight.
If the OP doesn’t medically need it for those reasons, taking it for a behavioural issue like sex addiction would be inappropriate and potentially risky.
Group therapy or counseling would be a much safer and more effective approach.

Clearly your family isn't everything for you if you are coming here asking for advice. If it was, you would of stopped your addiction. You want to know how to stop? Tell your wife about your addiction and work through it together with her. If she leaves, well, then you learn the lesson and, will likely, have more motivation to stop this "addiction". I had a neighbor who was addicted to smoking for years and years. Didn't matter what people told him, he just wouldn't stopped. Then one day he stopped. You want to know why? He got lung cancer and had to get one of his lungs removed. He died about a year after surgery. You can either wait for the cancer to hit you to decide to stop (and hope to make it out the other end) or just take responsibility today.

Yaaaa don't listen to this guy lol
You'll nuke your marriage if you tell your wife. Then she'll take you to the cleaners during divorce and you'll rarely get to see your kid.

My advice, don't get caught while finding a way out. Also, don't be silly, wrap your willy lol that covers the safety aspect of it
