Point taken, and I am sure that could apply to many of us.JoyfulC said:Yep, and while he's at it, maybe he should show her this site and the 1327 (1.13 posts per day) posts he's made here.
If he's found someone who is fun to be with for the moment, maybe he should stop and consider that maybe he's not perfect himself -- and accept her for who she is.

I certainly wouldn't show any of my friends my posts (Even if 95% of them are in the lounge.) You can check if you like.
Believe me, I know I am not perfect. And I am not an angel.
But I don't think I am a sex addict to be honest with you. I have gone sometimes upwards of 6 months without participating in "the hobby". At most now, I might go for a massage once every 2 or 3 weeks, and I don't bother with call girls.
I don't consider that out of control.
If my friend could go 6 mos. without a drink, I wouldn't be having concerns, but she can't go 6 days.
But thanks for your input.
If you take the 20 AA questions and instead of "drinking" its "hobbying" or "masturbating", I think the alot of people here would get at least 3 "Yes". At least I do.james t kirk said:

Sorry Langeweile...didn't mean to offend you. After being sober for 18 years I'm still hoping for a cure. Who will lobby for us, if not AA. My desire for a cure is as legitimate as it is for the lung cancer patient. Let's face it, to go out and have a couple of beers is fun and I'm happy for every person which can do that without losing control.langeweile said:You have no idea what you talking about. AA is by far the most successful program to help people with addictions.
The estimated success rate is over 70%.
Looks like to me you are still out there. Come back my friend our door is always open.
Well, they say it's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.james t kirk said:Point taken, and I am sure that could apply to many of us.

I won't deny that a problem with alcohol (or drugs or using adult services or just about a zillion other things) can cause trouble down the road.
But for right now, you've found someone who is (by your own admission) funny, fun to be with, not needy, and she likes you. So until it's a problem, why not stop and smell the roses? Maybe if the day comes that it is a problem, you'll decide it's not worth it. But has that day come yet? Consider yourself lucky -- you've found something that many people seek and never find.

And you point is that they aren't alcoholics?? PPPLLLeease.peelcowboy said:I can introduce you to world leaders, historicial heroes, Nobel prize winning scientists and men who have saved civilization as we know it; who all drank triple or quintuple what this woman is drinking.
If she needs help so be it, but for a Board full of whoremasters, rub & tuggers and self-declared perverts there is one hell of a lot of judgement being past on three glasses of wine a night. [/B][/QUOTE]]

peelcowboy - there is nothing foolish about what I said. What is foolish is your steadfast suppport and approval for people to drink everyday, even get drunk, and still have the gall to say they are not alcoholic(s). The last person to admit to alcoholism is often the person suffering from it.

langeweile, I know how comforting it would be to your myopic worldview if I were a drunk but, sorry, I just fit in the other 3 catagories.
i had a good friend years ago that would drink a dozen beers and eight to ten shooters a night. i believed he had a problem but he didn't, it got old pretty fast and the friendship sound ended. saw him in a club last year and he looked like hell he was pissed drunk.

Well I've been there so I do know what I'm talking about.
I can tell you that the success rate is definitely not over 70 %
